In what may combine every child’s dream, Santa Claus arrived on top of a fire truck, jumped down and handed out candy canes to the eager youngsters. Santa arrived just after the New Rochelle Christmas Tree, New Rochelle Menorah and New Rochelle Mishumaa Saba were lit.
Leading the festivities last Thursday were representatives of the various faith communities in New Rochelle along with New Rochelle Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Eli Gordon and Mayor Noam Bramson.
