WHAT IS MIMOUNA?Often known today as a Jewish Moroccan festival, Mimouna has been a tradition across North Africa for generations as a festive celebration that marks the end of Pesach (the Jewish holiday of Passover).It was the tradition for Jewish families to symbolically “sell” the chametz (food products with leavening agents that are prohibited from being eaten during Passover) from their homes to their Muslim neighbors, who would usually return it in the form of fresh cakes and cookies after Pesach ended. In return, Jewish families would host lavish Mimouna celebrations, opening their homes to all - Jewish and non-Jewish alike.C﻿heck out the video below from our partners at the American Sephardi Federation to learn more!
