Do Seders and meals cost money?

There is no additional cost to students since we accept meal swipes. 

If you are on a meal plan, we ask that you use a meal swipe for your meal(s) if possible, so that we can subsidize meals for you and for those without meal plans (simply sign up!). 

If you are not on a meal plan, or do not have enough meal swipes, Hillel will cover the costs of your Seders and meals (simply sign up!).

Transparent Meal pricing: We’ve got you! 

The cost to Tufts Hillel for Seders is over $40 per person and the cost of other meals is $25 per person.  The value of a meal swipe is approximately $17 per meal.  Tufts Hillel pays the cost difference. 

Can I take my (non-Seder) meals to-go?

Yes! To-go containers are available throughout passover. We’ve done our best to work around the class time blocks. For example, lunch starts at 11:45, so if you need to stop by in between your 10:30-11:45 and 12:00-1:15 classes, you will be able to. You will need to sign up in advance via SMS.

Can I pick up a to-go meal for a friend?

Yes! As long as your friend is registered for their meal(s) in advance via SMS. You must also be able to let the check-in desk know if they are using a meal swipe for the meal you’re picking up.

What if I’m planning my own Seder? 

We’ve got you! Sign up for a pre-made Seder Plate via SMS (see keyword above).

What if I missed the deadline to sign up!? 

Walk-ins:

If you sign up in advance via SMS your meal is guaranteed.

If you missed the deadline to sign up and would like to join us, please come early and we will do our best to accommodate you depending on availability but can not guarantee a meal.

We look forward to welcoming you!

What about special dietary needs?

We do our best to accommodate all allergies and dietary preferences. All food is dairy free and nut free. Gluten free matzah will be available.

If you have questions about Passover, including allergen and dietary information, please contact Marilyn Goldman at [email protected]
