Join the JCCSF and JIMENA to celebrate the beginning of spring and the end of Passover at our Moroccan Mimouna celebration. All are welcome!
Enjoy Moroccan sweets and drinks, live DJ, a live Morocan belly dance performance, henna artist, and lots of dancing at this festive event embodying heritage, tradition, and community.
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. Mimouna is the beginning of the spring season and a time to celebrate friendship, community, coexistence, luck and good fortune.
Moroccan sweets, beer, wine and arak included with admission.
