  An interfaith Iftar and Mimouna Dinner celebrated Easter, Passover and Ramadan traditions last Thursday night at the Jack Satter House of Hebrew SeniorLife. They chose this date, as this was the last day of Passover, and during Easter Week, as a day to celebrate together. The word “Mimouna” comes from a Moroccan Jewish tradition of having a big celebration at the end of the last day of Passover. This celebration was held together, by Jews and Muslims, and also represented their joint life together. They felt that this is perfect for the richness and diversity the city of Revere holds.
