When I ask Lerman, who is sweet and smiling, how long she’s been working here, she simply says “a long time…a long time,” without going into detail. We are both warmly welcomed by the shop’s owner, Chaya Lerman.

I see Hay, who is wearing one of her own casual, green cotton floral dresses and hauling an Ikea bag full of fabric and shirts. I stick out like a sore thumb here in my flares so tight that I feel like an encased sausage. A tiny booth near the cash register is stocked with religious paraphernalia: Shabbat candle sets and cards with religious figures. A huge modernist chandelier hangs from the ceiling, and the racks are filled with skirts, dresses, and sweaters. When I arrive, I’m instantly taken in by the store. On her trawl, she came across Top Fashion, a store specializing in modest clothes located at 382 Kingston Avenue, which is our destination this afternoon.

“My husband loves a little Judaica gift, like a tallis and a gartel,” she says. They got married eight years ago on the fifth night of Hanukkah, so the holiday is especially sentimental for them. She’s been to the neighborhood recently to shop for a religious gift for her and her husband’s anniversary. Still, she wants a real-deal one from Crown Heights. Hay makes dresses for a living, and has pretty much reinvented the frumpy Yentl frock into a chic must-have. She wants to buy a dress for the occasion, which bewilders me. But Hay-and the energy of Crown Heights-have gotten me newly excited. The holiday has been commercialized, and I feel its original meaning of miracles and rebuilding has been diluted. If anything, I’ll light a half-burned Diptyque candle and call it a day. I haven’t really celebrated the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah since I was a child. It has the celebratory energy of the Rockefeller Center tree-lighting, just in Brooklyn and, well, kosher. Bordering secular New York, Crown Heights transforms itself during the holidays.

The men have beards and wear Borsalino black hats. Here, women typically abide by the laws of modesty known as tznius, and wear dresses to cover their elbows, necks, and knees. For this edition, we shop with Batsheva Hay of the label Batsheva at the Crown Heights store Top Fashion.īatsheva Hay of the label Batsheva is on the hunt for a Hanukkah look in Crown Heights-an epicenter of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement in Judaism in New York City.

Welcome to Shopping With Vogue, a series in which we sift through a fashion lover’s favorite store. 'Katla has just been discovered to be a huge emitter of CO2 - it's number three on the league table of volcanoes globally,' Tuffen said.Photo: Courtesy of Liana Satenstein / liana_ava 'We have increasing evidence for large zones of geothermal heat beneath the world's biggest ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland, so there could be a large amount of methane being produced there.'Īnd while Sólheimajökull is producing prodigious amounts of methane, new research suggests the volcano beneath is releasing significant quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere. 'The amount of methane emitted from Sólheimajökull during the summer months is more than all known methane emissions from European volcanoes put together, and 15 percent of estimates of the combined total of European volcanic and geothermal emissions,' Wynn said. The new research, published Tuesday in the journal Scientific Reports, suggests volcanic glaciers could be responsible for an under appreciated source of greenhouse gases. 'In winter it's mostly trapped beneath the ice in isolated cavities, but in the summer there's a lot more meltwater around, these cavities connect, and the methane-rich water is quickly discharged to the glacier snout before the methane can all be converted to CO2,' Tuffen said. Researchers found the glacier's methane emissions fluctuate with the seasons.
