Ashkefardic Nite brought a large and enthusiastic crowd of students together for a festival that featured music, customs, stories and FOOD from the many lands in which Jews have lived. The program underscored that despite our many differences we Jews are one family, and no matter how we make it the food is delicious!
The night kicked off with a musical Havdalah ceremony - with both Sephardic and Ashkenazic melodies. Participants then enjoyed over thirty delectable dishes originating from all over the world, with background music from many world regions. Students told their families' stories, many participants took advantage of the henna booth as well.
