Playing and Praying in Playa del Carmen
by Jeanette Friedman – Chabad.org
Rabbi Mendel and Chaya Goldberg recently established the Chabad-Lubavitch Jewish Center in Playa del Carmen, a tropical paradise south of Cancun, Mexico.
About an hour south of Cancun and an hour north of Tulum, Mexico – smack in the middle of the Riviera Maya – sits the scuba-diving haven of Playa del Carmen. With an infusion of capital and visitors, the once-sleepy fishing village is undergoing a rapid transformation into a tourist’s paradise.
