At synagogues and community centers throughout Brooklyn, Jews celebrated Purim, last Saturday night and Sunday, with costumed frivolity that commemorated the rescue of Jews in ancient Persia.
Prospect Heights Chabad brought the reggae star Matisyahu and his band to the Southpaw bar on Fifth Avenue in Park Slope on Sunday. At Congregation B’nai Avraham of Brooklyn Heights, the party people included the pirate rabbi Aaron Raskin, and his wife Shternie; Sara Rivka Weintrob as a secret agent, Tova Weinberger as Dracula, and Rachel Leah Weintrob as a ghost pirate. Rounding out the fun was Pratt Institute’s rabbi, Simcha Weinstein, dressed as a jailbird and accompanied by his son.
