Jews in North Africa commemorate the philosopher and rabbi Moses Maimonides (1135-1204) on the evening of the last day of Passover and the day that follows. In Morocco, special displays of food are arranged on tables, including bowls of flour with eggs, broad green beans, stalks of wheat, and dates. Surrounding the bowls are honey, fruit, nuts, cookies, lettuce, wine, and a type of pancake known as muflita. After going to the synagogue, people stop to bless their friends and sample the refreshments at each home. Wherever possible, people dip their feet in streams, rivers, or the sea. Discuss
