JEws IN THE NEWS from page 79

"Each guest was given a candle
and an organza bag with spices
for the Havdalah service that was
part of the ceremony."
The outdoor reception — "all
candlelight and starlight" — fea-
tured the hora and the bride and
groom being lifted into chairs, as
well as a "seductive" first dance to
four different kinds of music by
the bridal couple, who met in a
yoga class, says Feuer.
Wedding attendants included
actors Mark Feuerstein (Good
Morning, Miami) and Jennifer
Beals, who starred with Berkley
in the 2002 film Roger Dodger.

Welcome to the

state of independence

Speaking of fashion no rock
group in recent memory has been
taken up more by "fashionistas" than
the NYC-based band the Strokes.
In the words of Time magazine,
"All five members of the Strokes
appear to have studiously avoided
wandering under a showerhead
since birth. Yet in photographs
they never fail to appear devastat-
ingly stylish, like a bunch of
Bowery James Bonds.
"This poseurship is just one of
the reasons it takes immense crit-
ical discipline not to hate them.
The Strokes' effortlessness is pure
fiction; not since the Velvet
Underground met Andy Warhol
has a band so effectively been art
directed to achieve the look. of
not having been art directet."
This band's 2001 monster
debut album was heralded by
some critics as the "future of
rock" and "alt rock at its best."
Their just released CD, Room
on Fire, has sold very well.
The Guardian and Rolling Stone
recently ran a profile by a writer
who spent a week with the band.
Keyboardist Albert Hammond
Jr. "informally converted" to
Judaism a little over a year ago,
the profile says, so that guitarist
Nick Valensi would not be the
only Jew in the band.
"Informal conversion"— that's
a new phrase. But they are fash-
ion leaders, so expect more.
