SUMMARY:Mimouna Moroccan Festival
DESCRIPTION:CALIFORNIA\n\nTraditionally in Morocco the Jewish Moroccans wou
 ld celebrate Pesach or Passover culiminating in Mimouna\, which is like th
 e Rite of Spring (in Iran it's called Nowruz or new year). Prior to the la
 st day of Pesach and the Mimouna celebration\, they observe the holiday fo
 r a week\, and do not eat bread or anything with yeast (thus\, no cake\, b
 eer etc). At the end of the Passover holiday\, everybody gets together to 
 celebrate. Moroccan Muslim neighbors come over with flour\, sugar and othe
 r ingredients\, to make mofletas (large homemade donuts). There is a celeb
 ratory table—quite similar to the Iranian Zoroastrian Nowruz table setti
 ng\, or Haftsin—with items representing the Spring and abundance\, like 
 pomegranates\, a whole fish\, chocolate coins\, sweets\, fruit and more.\n
 \nMimouna: Moroccan Festival is an occasion for us all to be Moroccans\, f
 or Arabs\, Arab Jews\, Jews and their friends to celebrate together. Enjoy
