ING and JCRC Celebrate Mimouna, a Traditional Moroccan Jewish-Muslim Event, 5/5/07 The ING-JCRC coalition commemorated a traditional celebration that was observed by Jews and Muslims in Morocco at an East Bay home on Sunday, May 6th. The celebration, called Mimouna takes place at the end of Passover, celebrating friendly relations between Jews and Muslims. Muslims would bring flowers, ears of grain, greens, honey, milk, bread, and fresh butter to their Jewish friends. Those Muslims with whom Jews had deposited foods for the duration of the Passover week would bring them back then, and Jews would invite Muslims to partake of the Mimouna delicacies. The celebration is a demonstration of the centuries of friendship and co-existence between Jews and Muslims, and was observed by the ING-JCRC coalition as a reaffirmation of that long tradition and history. Members of the coalition shared ethnic dishes, fruits, and drinks and socialized as they listened to Middle Eastern music that intertwined music from both Arab and Jewish traditions.

The entire experience of planning a series of seminars with ING was inspirational. They did an amazing job. The ING team welcomed input along the way which allowed each session to be even better than the one before it. We will continue to work with ING as I am confident that they will continue to provide value in our work.

I thought the ING seminar, “Preventing and Responding to Anti-Muslim Bigotry,” was an extremely valuable training for law enforcement, especially in today’s day and age with all the misunderstandings and misperceptions of the Muslim community…I feel this training will help my staff and I in developing better relationships and in responding to the needs of our community. I highly recommend this training to others.
