Join Congregation Kol Ami as we welcome in the festival of Sukkot with a wonderful Moroccan-themed evening under our sukkah. We are excited to partner with JIMENA, an organization of Jews from the Middle East and North Africa, for this event. We'll highlight the history and identity of North African Jewry and enjoy the evening with some backgammon and of course, welcoming in the holiday with kiddush. Hope to see you there!

 

The vegetarian meal is $20 per person.

 

JIMENA (Jews Indigineous to the Middle East and North Africa) was created in 2002 by former Jewish refugees from the Middle East and North Africa who desired to share their personal stories and rich culture with college students, policy makers and North American Jewish communal and lay leaders throughout North America. JIMENA speakers have shared personal testimonies with government agencies all over the world, more than 80 Universities in North America and hundreds of organizations. As the only organization in North America exclusively focused on educating and advocating on behalf of Jewish refugees and Mizrahi Jews from Arab countries, they remain a thought-leader and resource center for multiple institutions advancing the history, heritage and culture of Mizrahi and Sephardic Jews.
