Most cultures have traditions and rituals that herald spring. Who isn't grateful for signs leading toward a season of abundance and growth after the scarcity of winter? Many of these traditions feature eggs, from traditional Easter egg hunts, to the Cimburijada festival of scrambled eggs in Zenica, Bosnia - where 1,500 eggs will be cooked for the town to share the official moment spring begins - to Egypt's Sham El-Nissim holiday, celebrated back to the time of the pharaohs with spring onions and colored eggs.

In almost every educational institution there are Religious Studies that allows students to learn about different religions including Jewish culture, but there isnt a lot of focus on Sephardi Jewish studies in North America. In fact, very few people are educated in the Sephardic Jewish studies where they can teach its history, according to Director of the Sephardic Education Center, Rabbi Daniel Bouskila- who stopped by CSUN today to talk about the history of this very small, but rich culture. Bouskila has heard a lot of people complaining about the narrative in American universities being so Ashkenazim and European-based while the focus on the Sephardi side is barely ever touched upon
