The Speaker of the Knesset, MK Amir Ohana, born to Moroccan parents, said of the initiative to hold Mimona: "As a child, I always loved celebrating Mimona, the warmth, sounds and tastes, in Beer Sheva where I grew up, in Sderot and Bat Yam where we stayed with the uncles and aunts. The possibility of opening The Mishkan of the Knesset today for all citizens of Israel fills me with happiness. As the first Speaker of the Knesset of Moroccan origin, I am happy for the opportunity to bring voices, sounds and colors to the Mishkan that have never been there before. Opening the Mishkan to all the people of Israel in Mimona is an expression of the brotherhood of the people and the fact that the Knesset is the home of all the citizens of Israel . Feel like home and eat well".
