NY Times Feature: The City Visible – In the Land of Black Coats

Gianni Cipriano – The New York Times

If you had walked into Congregation Khal Chasidim on 49th Street and 15th Avenue on a recent Sunday evening, you would have seen a Jewish bride receiving her women attendants before her wedding. An hour later, thousands of people milled outside the synagogue, near the platform on which the wedding was taking place. Photo: Gianni Cipriano

BROOKLYN, NY — Take the D train to 55th Street in central Brooklyn, and you feel as if you have set foot in a different world.

The station sits at the junction of New Utrecht Avenue, 13th Avenue and 55th Street in the heart of Borough Park, home to a quarter-million Orthodox Jews, one of the largest concentrations of Jews outside Israel. To travel to Borough Park is to journey through both space and time.

Rabbi Yehuda Butman, co-director of Chabad-Lubavitch of Ramat Hasharon, Israel, prepares to deliver food to the city's Holocaust survivors.

PAMAT HASHARON, Israel — Gali Yacoby didn't have the typical birthday party this year. Instead of presents, her second-grade classmates brought cans of tuna, sardines, oatmeal, tea, coffee, soup mixes and jelly. And the items weren't even for the birthday girl.

Around 100 students from the Yeshiva University spent this past Shabbos in Crown Heights as part of a special Shabbaton arranged by Bochurim. The students stayed at families in the neighborhood.

Motzai Shabbos the students had a Seudas Melava Malka in Oholei Torah where Yossi Piamenta and his band performed for them, and together with the Yeshiva Bochurim they danced into the night.

I was sitting at the smorgasbord of a wedding the other day.

I can’t say I knew either side very well, but I helped raise money for the wedding so I thought it was only right for me to show up and wish the family Mazal Tov.

I turned to the person next to me and asked him who he was related to at this wedding. To which he answered, “Neither side, I just helped out here with money so they can afford the wedding and I felt I wanted to come and say Mazal Tov.”

It then dawned on me that many people that have Parnassah still need additional help to make a wedding.
