Mimouna at the Citadel with Tahrir

Mimouna, “An Envelope of Love”: Showing support for the residents of the South and North, praying for the return of the hostages and saluting the Israeli soldiers.
Free entrance for evacuees from the North and South, soldiers, and reservists.

On Tuesday, April 30, we meet at the Citadel for our traditional Mimouna celebration with Tahrir.

Mimouna, celebrated for hundreds of years by the Jewish North African community, is a symbol of mutual affection, community and faith. As the holiday of Passover exits, the doors open and anyone who wants is invited to come in, regardless of their beliefs or worldview. Everyone is welcome.

During these difficult days for the State of Israel, it seems that there is no more important message. Along with the pain and the sorrow, we ask specifically during this time to connect together for a shared experience, and find a little comfort and hope for better days through music.

The event, “An Envelope of Love”, is organized as a special experience for the residents of the South and the North, with prayers for the swift return of the hostages and in appreciation for the IDF soldiers guarding us day and night.

Tahrir is a mobile cultural institution and platform for artistic and entertainment events, founded a decade ago in Jerusalem’s Machane Yehuda market. Since then, it has been a magnet for a broad expression of Eastern culture, from the tradition of ancient, Sephardic, piyyut poetry to modern, multi-disciplinary, Eastern works. Tahrir is a platform for creative development and works, forming an active connection between social change and music and art.
