Lustrous Linings: Ultra-Orthodox Jews who insist on dark colors on the outside can let their inner selves sing out loudly.
To outsiders, the long black coats worn by Haredi men might all look the same.
Upon closer inspection, though, there’s nothing uniform about them. Enterprising tailor Mendy Sacho, 25, has built a successful couture business in Toronto over the past three years, catering to a mostly Orthodox clientele who like a bit of flair with their frum. Now, he’s expanding to serve American clients with a store in Brooklyn that he hopes to open by Hanukkah.

For High Holiday services this year, Jewish inmates in northern Russia’s Ertsevo prison made history when they prayed in the sprawling country’s first on-site synagogue, a worship space they helped build. And as they turn their eyes to the fast-approaching holiday of Sukkot, plans in the works call for similar inmate-built synagogues to pop up at correctional institutions in the near future.

A last-minute crisis was staved off last week at JEM. Toward the end of last week, the new film for children, My Land, was slated for release.
The boxes of thousands of DVDs arrived at JEM as scheduled and was randomly tested by the staff, to make sure they were in working order. To their horror, all the DVDs were blank! After investigating, they discovered that the company which duplicates the DVDs had erroneously copied a blank DVD thinking it was the master.
