Here, women usually obey the simple laws of Judaism known as tznius, and wear dresses to cover their elbows, necks, and knees. The men have beards and wear black Borsalino hats. Bordering secular New York, Crown Heights is transformative during the holidays. It has the celebratory energy of lighting up the Rockefeller Center tree, right in Brooklyn and is, well, kosher. I haven’t really celebrated a Jewish holiday since I was a kid. If anything, I’d light a half-burned Diptyque candle and call it a day.
