When I asked the sweet and smiling Lerman how long he had worked here, he simply said вЂњlongвЂ¦ long,вЂќ without going into detail. We were both warmly welcomed by the shop owner, Chaya Lerman.

I saw Hay, who was wearing one of her green cotton floral casual dresses and carrying an Ikea bag full of fabrics and shirts.

I stick out like a sore thumb here with my flare so tight I feel like a wrapped sausage. A small booth near the cash register was filled with religious paraphilias: sets of Shabbat candles and cards with religious figures. A large modernist chandelier hung from the ceiling, and the shop was filled with skirts, dresses, and sweaters. When I arrived, I was immediately taken by the shop. In her trawler, she found Top Fashion, a shop specializing in modest clothing located at 382 Kingston Ave, and our destination this afternoon. вЂњMy husband loves little Judaica gifts, like tallis and gartles,вЂќ she says. They married eight years ago on the fifth night of Hanukah, so the holiday was very sentimental. She had recently been out in the neighborhood, shopping for religious gifts for her husband and her birthday. Still, he wanted the original from Crown Heights. Hay makes dresses for a living, and has reinvented the shabby one Yentl skirts become a chic must-have.

She wanted to buy a dress for the event, which confused me. But Hay-and the energy of Crown Heights-excites me. The holiday has been commercialized and I feel it has undermined its original meaning of magic and rebuilding. If anything, IвЂ™d light a half-burned Diptyque candle and call it a day. I havenвЂ™t really celebrated a Jewish holiday since I was a kid. It has the celebratory energy of lighting up the Rockefeller Center tree, right in Brooklyn and is, well, kosher. Bordering secular New York, Crown Heights is transformative during the holidays. The men have beards and wear black Borsalino hats. Here, women usually obey the simple laws of Judaism known as tznius, and wear dresses to cover their elbows, necks, and knees. For this issue, we shopped with Batsheva Hay from the Batsheva label at Crown Heights store Top Fashion.Д«atsheva Hay of the Batsheva label was looking for a Hanukkah look at Crown Heights-the Chabad-Lubavitch Judaism center in New York City.
