New Sephardi Voices video tells the story of how Pesach was celebrated in the Middle East

Vivian Aghai from Lebanon recalls painting the whole house every year before Pesach.

In Tunisia, Elisabeth Barkany’s family held a meshwi, a barbecue, on the night before the festival.

They are two of the interviewees who reminiscence about their experiences when they lived in North Africa and the Middle East in An Unusual Passover, a short video produced by Sephardi Voices UK.

For the past decade, the organisation has been compiling an oral testimony of those who came from Morocco, Egypt, Iraq and other countries to Britain.
