Yesterday was the first day of Passover this year, and the University of Connecticut is doing several things for students who celebrate throughout its duration.
First, UConn dining services will be serving Passover meals today until next Tuesday.
The meals will be available in the NOSH Kosher Kitchen, which is located in Gelfenbien, or Towers, dining hall.
Students and anyone else interested in the service must sign up to receive the meals. There is a sign-up form available online for those interested in completing it.
The meals can be paid for using a student meal plan, meaning there will be no charge directly to the student. Additionally swipes, points and flex passes can be used.
For those who do not have a meal plan, the service accepts credit cards, checks and fee bill charges for forms of payments.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be available until next Tuesday. Those who sign up have the option to select which meals they want to opt in for.
Tonight, there will be a Seder hosted by Chabad at UConn. Those interested in attending can sign up for a spot online. The event begins at 8:30 p.m. with free food provided.
For those who were not interested in attending an event but wanted to contribute in some way, Chabad provided a donation form, which closed last night.
The donation money will be used to provide meals for tonight’s Seder dinner. More information regarding what exactly will be provided through donations can be found on their website.
