STUDENTS: PLEASE LET US KNOW YOUR OVERALL PASSOVER PLANS
As costs have risen and some supplies are limited, it is very helpful for us to have some sense of which students will be up here for which parts of the holiday. We made a new RSVP form for Seder Days this weekend RSVP + Passover Weeknights next week. The last form was more vague and for Passover Prep it really helps us to have a better sense of how many to prepare for, especially when it comes to Passover. PLEASE take a minute to fill this out. Thank you! We will have a second form next week for the last two days of Passover.
LETTERS FOR PROFESSORS
Some students may be missing a day of classes for travel. or for the Friday that’s the 7th day of Passover, and some may be away more days for holiday with family. It is best to notify professors as early as possible, and we also provide religious letters to explain the holiday schedule and observances. If you need a letter please specify your days needed for using this Passover 2022 LETTERS form.
HOW KOSHER-ON-FULLER WORKS FOR PASSOVER
More students keeps Kosher on Passover than during the rest of the year. So here’s the scoop. Any dinner or lunch on the first two or last two days of the 8-days of Passover are festive holiday meals and there’s no swipe or charge, those are considered Shabbos House events. The in-between weeknights of Passover on Monday 4/18 and Wednesday 4/20 will be Kosher-on-Fuller swipe nights when students can use discount dollars or meal plans – providing they have opted in for Kosher dining (and if you need help doing that one-step process, please be in touch with us). Tuesday 4/19 will be a Torah-Tuesday, possibly even an outing. Stay tuned! Also Campus Center 518 will have Kosher for Passover lunches provided by Kosher Price Chopper, via a sign-up form.
MATZAH-BY-MAIL OFFER
Shabbos House will once again be offering a handmade round Shmurah Matzah by mail to alumni and friends. Despite some supply issues we did secure a pretty good supply this year, and can send either 3 full size Matzahs or 3 half-size (but Seder requirement size) Matzahs – as supplies last. Please use this Matzah-by-Mail form to sign up.
