Mimouna! A Post-Passover Moroccan Celebration

JIMENA and Urban Adamah invite you to a Saturday night Mimouna celebration on the farm. Mimouna is a traditional festival celebrated by Moroccan Jews the day after Passover, marking the return to eating chametz (leavened foods). Families open their homes to neighbors and friends, and fill their kitchen tables with an abundance of delicious sweets symbolizing fertility, joy, success, health, and prosperity.
