With the end of Passover, tonight (Saturday) Maimonides celebrations began across the country, after last year they were avoided due to the first closure and the corona plague.
The annual celebrations have long since become a Moroccan tradition, one of the hallmarks of the end of the Feast of Unleavened Bread in all denominations.

On the occasion of the holiday, students from Israel and Morocco are holding a joint online Andalusian concert under the direction of Evelyn the Redeemer.
The concert is part of a wide range of collaborations in the field of education, agreed upon by the Minister of Education, Yoav Galant, and the Moroccan Minister of Education, Said Amazazi.

The celebrations tonight are held after a particularly high number of hikers were recorded during the Passover holiday in the nature reserves and national parks, while the Nature and Parks Authority reported about 1,200,000 hikers who visited the nature reserves and parks during the Passover holiday, the week of Passover and the seventh.
