My son, the barber...

Who knew? "For generations, the barbers of Central Asia were Jews..... There were barber shops where only Bukharian Jews worked, 20 or 30 people."
And now, the cutting edge Jews are taking Long Island by storm -- while keeping in mind that American customers are not quite the same as the Uzbeks: "In Tashkent, there is more a standard haircut, three types of haircuts," said Rakhmin Izgelov, one of the barbers. "Here everybody is different, different kinds."
