Tonight at sundown the Jewish world begins the celebration of Passover, commemorating the Exodus of Hebrew slaves from Egyptian slavery. The Exodus from Egypt is a central event in the identity of the Jewish people. Each year Jews recount the story of the Exodus through a traditional Seder meal with the goal of feeling as if each person was personally redeemed from Egypt. Passover can be celebrated for for 7 or 8 days depending on your tradition.

Because the freed Hebrews only ate matzah for the entire holiday of Passover, Jews eat matzah and refrain from eating anything that rises during baking.Please contact Josh Jeffreys, Jewish Chaplain and Director of Religious Life, with any questions about the holiday at jjeffrey@richmond.edu.

Effective Wednesday, April 8, ETC will be open on request during HDC meal pickup hours:
Lunch, 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.
