Africa theme unites Jewish community for Purim

Monroe NY — Chabad of Orange County’s annual Purim celebration was an African-themed party offering a way for Jews of diverse backgrounds to celebrate Purim together.

Rabbi Pesach Burston, dressed in authentic African garb, welcomed the crowd of 175 men, woman and children from throughout the county who came to the party on March 4 at the American Legion Hall in Monroe.
