SUMMARY:The Edith Sulzberg Memorial Intergenerational Program Sukkot Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Make a new friend\, share a meal\, and build meaningful connections across generations!  \n\n\n\nSign up is required. Email Lexi Trifon at alexis.trifon@tufts.edu to sign up! \n\n\n\nThe Edith Sulzberg Memorial Intergenerational Program brings Tufts students together with residents of Cabot Park Village for conversation\, community\, and Jewish celebration. This event will take place in the Tufts Hillel Sukkah. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nA partnership between Tufts Hillel and Cabot Park Village \n\n\n\nWhat started as a weekly Challah for Hunger delivery turned into something much deeper. \n\n\n\nEdith Sulzberg\, mother of Tufts Hillel’s Director of Operations and Finance Marilyn Goldman\, was a fierce supporter of Jewish life\, young people\, and her daughter’s work. Each Thursday\, students would send challah—and handwritten notes—to residents at Cabot Park Village\, including Edith. But Edith wanted more than a taste of Shabbat. She wanted to meet the students behind the notes\, to see where Marilyn worked\, and to feel the energy of Tufts Hillel for herself. \n\n\n\nWith the help of Tufts Student Eli Fraiman and Cabot Park Village’s Executive director Todd Raymond\, Edith made it to Hillel. That visit sparked a tradition: shared meals\, thoughtful conversations\, and real friendships between Tufts students and Cabot Park Village residents. \n\n\n\nToday\, in Edith’s memory\, this intergenerational program brings students and seniors together for festive lunches\, Shabbat dinners\, and meaningful connection. It’s a space to eat\, laugh\, and build relationships across generations—with your very own Bubbes and Zaydes.

To-go containers are available throughout Passover on weekdays. We’ve done our best to work around the class time blocks. For example\, lunch starts at 12:00pm\, 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. \n\n\n\nCan I pick up a to-go meal for a friend?\n\n\n\nYes! 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. \n\n\n\nWhat if I’m planning my own Seder? \n\n\n\nWe’ve got you! Sign up for a premade Seder Plate via SMS (see graphic above). \n\n\n\nWhat if I missed the deadline to sign up!? \n\n\n\nWalk-ins: \n\n\n\nIf you sign up in advance via SMS your meal is guaranteed. \n\n\n\nSeders and meals are only open to Tufts students\, faculty and staff. 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. \n\n\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you! \n\n\n\nWhat about special dietary needs?\n\n\n\nWe do our best to accommodate all allergies and dietary preferences if you sign up by the deadline. All food is dairy free and nut free. Gluten free matzah will be available. \n\n\n\nIf you have questions about Passover\, including allergen and dietary information\, please contact Marilyn Goldman at marilyn.goldman@tufts.edu. \n\n\n\nSign up for passover!\n\n\n\nHi!
