Hundreds attended the annual Yemenite Simchat Beit Hashoieva celebration organized by the local Yemenite community in Crown Heights.

The event, now in its 10th year, took place at the Lubavitch Yeshiva on Crown Street and drew a large crowd who came in from other neighborhoods, such as Flatbush, Boro Park and Williamsburg.

The lively dancing, accompanied by music by DJ Nerya Cohen, went on late into the night. For some participants, it was the first time they have witnessed the popular ‘Yemenite steps’ dance.
