Is there such a thing as non-orthodox Sephardi/moroccan community?

I’m a montreal Jew, raised by Moroccan parents in what one would call an “orthodox” manner. My mother wears pants and doesn’t cover her hair but is shomer Shabat, keeps a strictly kosher diet and we always had more rabbi portraits on the walls than family portraits.

My father on the other hand, puts tefilin on everyday and prays 3 times a day but would light a cigarette between kiddush and netilat yadaim on Friday nights.

Went to a Jewish “non denominational” school with Sephardi and Ashkenazi kids my whole life, fluent in Hebrew, the whole shabang.

But I’ve always felt a disconnect between my traditions and my beliefs. Always wondered if there was such a thing as a conservative sephardi congregation, with Sephardic tune and rite, but a bit less judgement if i drove to synagogue on Saturdays.
