Follow Feb. 11, 2021 Snir Dayan, originally from Haifa, knows New York by its keyholes. He is a professional locksmith and he is available together with his team, which includes three more Israelis, for anyone who is stuck 24 hours a day. Dayan, 26, arrived in the Big Apple 20 days after completing his military service in the Golani Brigade. “I came as a tourist and didn’t speak a word of English at first,” he says. “I went to Las Vegas and Florida and reached the conclusion that if I want to make money it’s here, in New York. I did all kinds of things until I started working as a locksmith. There was no shortage of work. Up until two years ago I was a technician, and then I bought the line [the customer list].”
