Ochel Moed: Celebrating Mimouna with Hadar Orshalimy
Friday, Apr 25th 6:00p to 9:00p

It is an exuberant celebration of our freedom with hope for good health and prosperity in the coming year. Join us for a lively family-friendly Kabbalat Shabbat with Hadar Orshalimy, followed by a delicious “Chametz-fest” dinner (think of all the yummy carbs you missed at Pesach) and Mimouna fun!
