Heena Party!

 

Though we are not exactly Moroccan, Yemenite, or Tunisian, our dear friends Ronen and Efrat Shayari are throwing us a traditional Heena party.  There will be a traditional heena ceremony, traditional music, food, and a bit of dancing!  However, there will be a familiar Ashcanazi twist with the dinner and songs we will sing so it will not be completely foreign. For more information about what a Heena party is check out  the following websites:

• Ours will not be this ornate or with so many costume changes, but this clip will give you a bit of a feeling of what to expect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOeNRw65_Vc

 

 

The celebration is on October 5th in our friends' synagogue so modest, repectful dress is requested.  More information will be given to those attending. 

 

 

*This celebration is for guests coming from abroad only.
