Chava Light's (Class of 2011) "Subway Prayer" may reach wider audience

Chava Light's (Class of 2011) participation in last fall's art show Chassidim of Color, a selection of contemporary and photographic art by various Chassidic artists, may have landed her a much larger audience than she expected.

The Brooklyn storefront show, coordinated by Yitzchok Moully, caught the attention of The Oprah Show's film crew, who happened to be filming a segment on Chassidic Jews. It's highly likely that Chava's work made it into the segment, so keep your eyes peeled for her to work to appear on the show, slated to air sometime mid-February.
