Debresser (and others):
I already have a sense how you feel about these. I don't completely disagree with you, either. 

The complication is that ''Mimouna'' is really big enough, and is observed widely enough, and is famous enough, that it legitimately deserves mention here somewhere. And if you look at [[Talk:Jewish holidays]], you'll see there is a nine-year-old request to include it. Whether it merited that inclusion then is a good question, but I think it legitimately does now. With respect to Mimouna, if I put it in the article and you then revert it, I would probably strongly object on the talk page. 

So the problem is this: Without Mimouna, it's probably easy to leave them all three out. However, once you include Mimouna, how do you exclude the others? In particular, there is a lot of sensitivity around [[Beta Israel]] that as they are accepted as Jews, their customs need to be respected. So my [[User:StevenJ81/sandbox#Jewish holidays|sandbox]] provides what I think is a workable solution—one that is not excessively lengthy, but mentions everything without too much fuss. I propose to include it as a last section under Israeli holidays, because the Israeli government's recognition of them gives them some tie to notability.

If you would strongly prefer ''only'' including Mimouna, though, I can't really argue against that effectively. After all, while ''Mimouna'' is widely observed, Seharane and Sigd are really not (outside their core ethnic communities). If we went that way, I would probably prefer to slot Mimouna in as a subheading of Pesach. If you click where it says "[show]" just under the title "Jewish holidays" you'll see what I have in mind there.

I'd appreciate your feedback. [[User:StevenJ81|StevenJ81]] ([[User talk:StevenJ81|talk]]) 18:35, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

: I won't disagree with you. There is one thing lacking in what you wrote, or actually - three things. What the days are about. What do people do on Mimouna, etc.? I know this is in the articles, but at least something minimal should be mentioned here as well. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 22:25, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

:: Good point. Will try to get at that, probably day after tomorrow.  Thanks!  [[User:StevenJ81|StevenJ81]] ([[User talk:StevenJ81|talk]]) 22:48, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Beneath the section's heading ''Main articles: ... Seharane ...'' appears but  there isn't a Seharane article though there is one in French: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seharane. [[User:Mcljlm|Mcljlm]] ([[User talk:Mcljlm|talk]]) 13:04, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
