Mimouna
Mimouna is a traditional celebration observed by Moroccan Jews, marking the end of Passover. It typically takes place on the evening following the last day of the holiday, symbolizing the return to eating leavened bread after a week of eating unleavened matzah. Families prepare festive meals and open their homes to friends and neighbors, fostering a spirit of community and hospitality.
During Mimouna, various sweet dishes are served, including mufleta, a type of thin pancake often enjoyed with honey and butter. The celebration is characterized by music, dancing, and the sharing of blessings, emphasizing joy and unity among families and friends.
