I have just been given a sneak preview of photographer Frederic Aranda's new photography exhibition, Kosherface, and was blown away. Boasting seven years of photographs of Orthodox Jewish Rabbis, this is a unique, unseen body of work on a private community. Approaching the subject from inside, but as a fashion photographer, he has created something really quite unique.

David Goldberg runs into somebody in the street who looks like his old friend Jack.
“Jack,” he says, “Is that you?! You've put on a bit of weight and your hair has turned gray. You seem a few inches shorter than I recall and your cheeks are puffy. Plus, you're walking differently and even sound different. Jack, what's happened to you?”
“I'm not Jack,” replies the gentleman, half amused half repulsed.
“Wow!” says David, “you son of a gun, you even changed your name.”

Yeshivas Menachem Mendel Lubavitch of Oak Park, Michigan is expanding, Rabbi Dovi Greenberg will assume the position of Menahel of all Nigleh Sedarim and will also give a daily Shiur.

Rabbi Ephraim Simon told his nine children that his kidney donation would be their gift to a critically ill man.
When the opportunity arose for Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi Ephraim Simon to potentially risk his life in the preservation of another’s, he paused.
