Brooklyn, New York (March 2015)�Just one year ago, Ohr Naava astounded the frum world with a first-of-its-kind event that fused fabulous shopping with gastronomic delights, all to support a beloved organization. This year, Ohr Naava has built on the overwhelming success to create an unprecedented retail paradise in New York�s newest and coolest venue�to be unveiled�tomorrow.
Brooklyn MRKT 2015 will take place this�Sunday, March 15, from�11 AM-10 PM, and this�Monday, March 16, from�11 AM-5 PM�at the all-new Brooklyn Expo Center, 72 Noble Street. Situated along the East River waterfront at the fore of Brooklyn�s cultural renaissance, the expansive, breathtaking convention center boasts ceiling-to-floor glass windows, chic architectural lines, 28,000 square feet of exhibition space, and on-site, ground-level parking for over 200 vehicles.
It is a fitting setting for the MRKT, a rarefied retail exposition magnificently staged in show-stopping hues and ultra-hip d�cor. Featuring an exclusive selection of New York�s finest vendors, each showcasing the season�s latest trends and novelties, the MRKT hooks up premier shops with discriminating shoppers, via an engaging social event that invites conversation, collaboration, and connection.
As they browse a curated collection of statement-making products, attendees can scope out the most avant-garde and inventive finds, ranging from attire and jewelry to cosmetics, millinery, accessories, wigs, children�s wear, home goods, artwork (and of course, food!), with a portion of the proceeds going to sustain Ohr Naava�s essential work.
�Ohr Naava is the future of our girls,� say the proprietors of Renaissance Wigs, a proud MRKT sponsor. �A portion of every wig sale at our booth is going straight to them�Renaissance is not making any profit�and we�re thrilled to be able to do that.�
Tzippy Knobel, founder of the Dimensions Maternity chain�another event sponsor, is similarly excited to be empowering the Ohr Naava movement. �Rabbi Wallerstein does amazing work with young women; he changes lives. We are inspired by his dedication.�
Complementing the voguish, creative atmosphere at the MRKT designed by Birch Events, �will be a luxurious Breadberry food bar, where attendees can redeem a free gift card to enjoy a brunch or lunch package and then dine with friends in the comfortable ambiance of the adjoining Ami Caf�. In addition, a gourmet station by Heavenly Events will offer tastings all day and night.
Participants�who can purchase discounted MRKT entry tickets online�will also be able to earn a chance at winning 20 spectacular gifts each worth $1000, including gift certificates to Simpson�s, Bergdorf Goodman, Junee, Breadberry, the Apple Store, Jet Blue, and loads more.

�Ohr Naava has a vision, and we�re excited to use our vision to enable theirs,� says Avi Vizel, CEO of Eyes and Optics, a New York chain of eyewear and vision care sponsoring the MRKT.
�Ohr Naava has emerged as a life-changing bridge�guiding thousands of women and girls to achieve their dreams in a safe and supportive environment,� says Rabbi Zechariah Wallerstein, who founded the organization in 2003 with the goal of creating a comprehensive answer to the needs of today�s Jewish woman. �The proceeds from the Brooklyn MRKT will enable us to continue transforming lives�and futures.�
