As a young girl I was always fascinated by the beauty and mystery of the Mikvah experience.

I couldn’t wait to become a kallah and be able to finally participate in this exclusive and mystical experience.

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.

Aided by a Chabad-Lubavitch emissary, Rabbi Aaron Gurevitch, center, Jewish prisoners at the Ertsevo prison in northern Russia inaugurate the country’s first synagogue to open at a correctional institution.
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.
