An Interfaith Iftar is a way for people of different faiths to come together, share a meal, and learn about each other's traditions and beliefs. It is an opportunity to promote understanding and harmony among people of different faiths and cultures. In Rabat, 216 of the youth of the Mellah attended the Iftar ceremony and Mimouna celebration organized by Mimouna Association and the Tofola Chaabia movement to highlight the coexistence that the Mellah was known for. During the event, the youth of the Mellah learnt about the Mimouna celebration through a presentation made by the last Jewish resident of the Mellah of Rabat.The last Jewish woman of the Mellah answered the questions of the youth regarding the significance of Passover, the meaning behind each ingredient on the table of Mimouna, and the history of cohabitation between Jews and Muslims in the Mellah of Rabat.
Every event we organize, every food basket we deliver, and every dialogue circle we lead is made possible by engaged allies. From student volunteers to global donors, a vibrant community stands behind Mimouna’s mission.
