Hamantaschen, music and parades — what a memorable way to bring everyone together for Purim! This year, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia’s Kehillot, neighborhood groups, celebrated Purim with carnivals, arts and crafts, costumes and delicious foods.
Approximately 1,500 community members across the Greater Philadelphia area came out to commemorate the joyous holiday.
