Today’s the last day of Passover, which means Mimouna starts tonight! We wish we could all be together for Mimouna this year, but we’ll reminisce on our 2019 Mimouna celebration.
Drawing from the Moroccan and North African tradition of inviting Jewish and Muslim neighbors to celebrate Mimouna, the event included the @ArabAmericanNY and @DesisRisingUp, our partners in the fight against white nationalism.
The evening included an abundance of Arab sweets, mint tea, a live band, and a radical Moroccan DJ.
In the tradition of Arab storytelling, Mizrahi and Sephardi community members shared meaningful stories and artwork from their family histories for the more than 350 people in attendance.
