Uncovering Chabad in Cancun
by Kristen Tywan
Rabbi Mendel Druk does outreach in Cancun, Mexico.
It’s ironic that after growing up so close to the large Jewish community in Skokie, Illinois that I would finally get my Jewish education from a Hasidic Rabbi in Cancun, Mexico. The Jewish community that I stumbled across in Cancun is an oasis of familiarity for Jews in Mexico. Not only do Rabbi Mendel Druk and his wife Rebbetzin Rachel Druk provide one of the only kosher meals in Cancun; they also offer an opportunity for their fellow Jews to reconnect with their faith and heritage by bringing them closer to each other and to God.
