The annual Hiloula also takes place just days before 24 Tevet, which is the Hiloula of the Alter Rebbe.
An inspiring evening with special guest speakers, traditional Moroccan foods, and live music accompanied by excellent paytanim, is planned.
The Hiloula is partially sponsored by Mrs. Chaya Zaetz, a granddaughter of the Baba Sali, her family, and the Merkaz Sefarad.
Separate sections for men and women.
