Every year, Jews around the world gather with their families, friends, neighbors, and communities to tell a miraculous liberation story. It’s tradition to tell the story in the first person: “This is what happened to me when I went out of Egypt.” This, in and of itself, is part of that miracle. It is a miracle that we are connected to the Jewish story throughout time and space. It is a miracle that we see ourselves reflected in an ancient story of slaves becoming free. It is a miracle to get to celebrate together as a Jewish community, and to welcome others into that celebration.
Join Northwestern Hillel for our community Passover Seders:
First Seder, Wednesday, April 1, at 7:15pm (doors open at 6:45pm)
Second Seders Thursday, April 2, 7:30pm (doors open at 7:00pm)
For ALL Seders, RSVP in advance is required. Please register here to reserve your spot.
Registration will close on Wednesday, March 18. We will do our best to accommodate those who miss the deadline and will, therefore, be placed on the waitlist.
Students may also host their own seder for their friends and receive support from Hillel. Register your Host at Home Seder by 3/20.
KOSHER FOR PASSOVER DINING
Northwestern Hillel is working in close partnership with Northwestern Dining to ensure Kosher meals are available at the Hillel building at 629 Foster starting with a Seder meal on Wednesday, April 1 through dinner on Thursday, April 9. Students living in a residence hall and/or with a dining plan will be able to use their meal plan for a meal at Hillel during Passover. Students without a dining plan will be able to dine in or pick up Kosher for Passover meals from Hillel for free thanks to the generosity of our donors.
-
Lunch 11:30am-1:30pm
-
Dinner 5:30pm-7:30pm
-
Passover Shabbat - 6pm services, 7pm dinner
If you are not able to make it to Hillel (629 Foster St.) during meal time, you can email us to arrange for a separate meal pickup.
ACADEMIC ACCOMMODATIONS
University policy states that students should not be penalized for class absences because of religious observance. Students should contact their course instructor directly, as soon as possible (even before the end of Winter Quarter) to request accommodation for a religious observance if needed. Students may also contact the Associate Dean in the school in which the course is offered or the Office of the Provost for additional assistance. If you need help with asking for an accommodation, please contact Rabbi Jessica Lott.
