A cultural non-profit association created in 2007 by young Muslim students willing to promote and preserve the Jewish-Moroccan heritage.
The Association has since expanded these activities on a national level in order to engage in the education of the Moroccan youth about the Moroccan Jewish heritage. This awareness is particularly achieved through the “Jewish-Moroccan heritage Days” and through educational activities designed for high school and graduate students.
The name “Mimouna” symbolizes a common heritage of Moroccans. Traditionally celebrated at the end of Passover, Mimouna is a traditional Jewish Moroccan celebration. Jewish families often invite their Muslim neighbors Muslims who, among other things, bring bread to join the festivities.
One of the founding principles of the Association is to reclaim the cultural diversity of Morocco through its history. In a context where intolerance and extremism are rampant, Mimouna, as a Citizen Patriot Association, would like to contribute to the preserving and strengthening of the plural Moroccan identity.
