Mimouna After Dark

Date: Monday, April 21
Time: 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm (EDT)
West Orange*

Mimouna After Dark, an unforgettable celebration hosted by Federation’s Global Connections and Next Chapter (our 55+ initiative) committees.

Mimouna, a celebration rooted in North African Jewish tradition, marks the end of Passover with warmth, hospitality, and abundance. We’ll come together, embrace tradition, and experience authentic Israeli culture.

We’ll celebrate Mimouna with:

  • Traditional Mimouna Delicacies–Indulge in authentic Moroccan sweets, nuts, and treats symbolizing prosperity.
  • Cultural Experiences–Enjoy a lively and festive atmosphere with traditional customs and engaging activities.
  • Personal Mimouna Israeli Experiences–Hear from our Mishlachat, our Greater MetroWest Israeli delegation, which includes our Rishonim (young Israeli emissaries).
  • Interactive Elements–Henna art, a capella music, and more!
We support and #StandWithIsrael as we continue to build a strong Jewish community here in NJ

Security at Federation Events

The Gloria and Jesse Weissberg Community Security Initiative (CSI) is coordinating all security with local, county, and state law enforcement. At every Federation event, all available resources are utilized to ensure your safety. Important items of note:

  • Bag policy: Backpacks, luggage, and large purses are not permitted at events. We encourage you not to bring a bag, if possible, or to bring a very small bag. All bags may be subject to search.
  • Additional security measures: Additional security procedures may be implemented (e.g. metal detectors) as needed.
  • Social media protocol: We ask you not to share the location of a Federation event prior to or during the event and to refrain from posting about a Federation activity until after it has ended, and the site is clear of attendees.

Building an inclusive community is a priority. Please email [email protected] to let us know if you require an accommodation to meaningfully participate in an event. One of our Federation professionals will reach out to you to learn more.
