Chabad of Yonkers Purim festivities this year featured a theme of “Purim in Mexico” and saw people dressed in Mexican-themed costumes, a live mariachi band, dancing, singing and a delicious kosher dinner, complete with hamantaschen.

Chabad of Yonkers Rabbi Mendy Hurwitz welcomed all to the Purim party, as “it is the most joyous day on the Jewish calendar! We celebrate the day with celebration, saying we look forward to Purim with gifts of food, charity, reading the book of Esther, dressing in masquerade and festive celebrations.”
