When: Saturday, May 4th 6pm-8pm
Where: Indoors at Israel CME Church
Mimouna is a festival celebrated by Moroccan Jews at the end of Passover. This is a joyous time to celebrate spring, generosity, and community. Hospitality is also a key theme as is traditional to share food with neighbors during the festival, and our potluck will reflect this. Since it is a celebration at the end of Passover there is a special emphasis on breads, cakes, and leavened goods, but delicious gluten-free treats are also welcome.
In addition to the potluck dinner, we will have a Sephardi-led Havadalah ceremony and henna artist!
This event is a community potluck, in line with Moroccan tradition of neighbors providing food for each other for mimouna. Please bring a vegetarian item labeled with ingredients.
