SUMMARY:Eid Al-Banat
DESCRIPTION:Eid Al-Banat \nThe ASF Institute of Jewish Experience and the Mizrahi Dance Archive invites you to a unique global celebration of Eid Al-Banat! \nThis year for the North African holiday of Eid Al-Banat (The Festival of Daughters\, in Judeo-Arabic)\, or Hag HaBanot (Hebrew)\, we are bringing together female Greater Sephardi talents to virtually celebrate North African Jewish traditions\, female leadership\, music\, dance\, and so much more. \nSunday\, 5 December at 12:00PM EST \nThis festival honors the story of Jewish heroines like Judith and Queen Esther and the important role of women in Jewish life until today. It is customary to sing\, dance\, and light the night’s menorah candle and focus on bringing together generations of mothers\, daughters\, aunts\, sisters and the extended community. Women would traditionally get together to bake sweet treats and give gifts to each other. They would sing piyyutim and pray for the health and wellbeing of the women in their lives. It is a celebration of women\, past and present. \nIn this year’s celebration\, we will be featuring musician Lala Tamar\, a world-renowned Israeli singer\, who will be streaming a concert from Morocco accompanied by local female musicians. Lala is known for her bold and feminine style where she incorporates her Moroccan roots and the ancient Judeo-Spanish language of Haketia. \nJackie Barzvi will be leading us in celebratory dance to Jewish Moroccan music\, where anyone can follow along\, without any previous dance experience. Jackie is a professional Raqs Sharqi (belly dance) instructor and performer and the creator of the Mizrahi Dance Archive. \nDr. Hélène Jawhara Piñer\, author of Sephardi: Cooking the History. Recipes of the Jews of Spain and the Diaspora from the 13th Century to Today will be sharing a new recipe created uniquely for this program that incorporates the historical and modern significance of the day in the context of specific food items. \nSponsorship opportunities available:\ninfo@americansephardi.org
