Oprah Winfrey visited Chasidic Jews and a mikvah in Brooklyn for a new television series.
Winfrey visited the neighborhoods of Borough Park and Brooklyn Heights, and met with two Chasidic families, including one in Crown Heights, as part of a new series called Oprahs Next Chapter, which is set to premiere in January on her OWN network.
The television star also toured a Chabad-Lubavitch mikvah in Brooklyn Heights but did not immerse in the Jewish ritual bath.
