The Mimuna is a long-standing tradition of North West African Jews, especially among Moroccans. On the seventh Passover holiday, they would open the houses and invite anyone who came to their home.

At home, a king-hand table is opened with sweet and emaciated foods, and some have a bowl of flour and green beans, mint, and milk jug, all designed to symbolize slavery for freedom.

In Morocco, the Jews kept the holiday customs on Passover, and did not tend to host and stay on the first holiday so that they did not fail Chametz. Therefore, on the seventh day of Passover, the Moroccans opened their home to every person. It is also customary to eat sweet and rejoice in the coming of the Messiah because on Passover we are about to be redeemed.
