Here is Israel right after our holiday of Passover is over they celebrate something called Mimouna. It is very interesting. I will show you here a picture of some of what they put out on their table to share with others. I went to one once. Here you can see two outfits that they wear.

@mlgen1037 Very interesting question Louise and thank you for asking. Mimouna comes from the work Emuna which means faith. It is a celebration that Moroccan Jews celebrate after our holiday of Passover is over. All Jews during the holiday of Passover are not allowed to eat bread. We eat matza for 7 days When the holiday is over they do their festival. It is very colorful.
