Mimouna” is a traditional North African Jewish celebration which marks the end of Passover. This year’s Mimouna will be dedicated to Mizrachi, Sephardic, and Yemenite Jewry and will celebrate the vibrancy of these beautiful cultures within the Jewish heritage.

This very special virtual evening will feature a private concert from Israel’s leading international singer/songwriter, Achinoam Nini (also known as Noa) and her musical partner, Gil Dor.

Join us as we celebrate Jewish diversity through experiential workshops and a private virtual concert with international singer/songwriter Noa.

In advance of the musical celebration, we invite attendees to join us for engaging experiential breakout workshops focused on our theme of “A Celebration of Jewish Diversity”.

The Diversity of the Jewish World:

In reality, about 30% of Jews have roots from outside of Europe (Spain, the Arab world, and Africa). Join us as we celebrate Jewish diversity and explore the many different colors of the Jewish world.
