1. it's sad that Israeli Arabes don't take part in celebration
C. Ben-David   (04.10.15)
After all, in Morocco it was an Arab ceremony as well. In fact, the Mimouna could even become the first holiday uniting all sectors of the Israeli society!
2. new york style

we go to chinatown for dim sum or chow fun
3. Appropriate if Dr Buzaglo researched the subject
Jerome ,   AKL   (04.11.15)
Unlike the sale of Hametz to the Polish goy who would drink and eat all supplies deposited for keeping, Hametz was gifted to Arab neighbours and fresh milk, honey etc was offered in return after Passover. Dr Buzaglo referring to Jews as of Arab descent only plays into Ashkenazi spread mischievous rumours. Moroccan Jews are not Arabs same as Polish Jews are not Christians. Period!

When you open your mouth your ignorance spills out. Moroccan Jews were and are Jewish. They happened to end up Sephardi by chance, just as Jews that emigrated to Europe happened to end up Ashkenazim.
5. a tradition no ones understands
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (04.13.15)
It seems that it is a tradition that no one really knows why, but the Moroccan and Tunisian Jews celebrate each year. But then, to get together and eat, isn't that an important part of tradition in Judaism?
