A program of the year-long series, «2,000 Years of Jewish Life in Morocco: An Epic Journey», presented Under the High Patronage of His Majesty Mohammed VI, King of Morocco, and made possible through the generous support of the Edmond J. Safra Philanthropic Foundation.
Join us for a live re-enactment – in ceremonial dress and authentic Moroccan setting – and a discussion of the picturesque Noche de Berberisca or Soirée du Henné. This most traditional Moroccan Jewish ceremony takes place during the week that precedes the wedding, in an atmosphere full of joy and emotion. It is enhanced with wedding songs, elegant outfits and delicious pastries. The
evening reaches its climax when the bride makes her entrance magnificently made up and dressed in the Berberisca gown called Traje de paños in Spanish or Keswa Elkbira (Great Dress) in Arabic. Come see the Berberisca bride and her bridesmaids! Sing along with singer Vanessa Paloma, taste our Moroccan tea and pastries, and much more. Do not miss this magnificent and unique event!
Tickets: $18 General Admission/$12 for ASF members.
