You can expect great food, connection with students from throughout Tufts, and a meaningful evening!

Passover FAQ

WHO IS THIS OPEN TO?

Seders and meals are only open to Tufts students, faculty and staff.

How do I sign up?

Text any of the keywords in the schedule above to 617-420-7411 to sign up for Passover meals.

So that we can order the appropriate amount of food to accommodate everyone while avoiding food waste, we ask that you please sign up for all meals by March 23rd.

Where will Seders and meals be located?

Every meal will be at Tufts Hillel!

Do Seders and meals cost money?

We accept Tufts dining meal swipes – there is no additional cost to students.

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 $50 per person and the cost of other meals is $35 per person. The value of a meal swipe is approximately $20 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 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.

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 premade Seder Plate via SMS (see graphic above).

What if I missed the deadline to sign up!?

Walk-ins:

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

Seders 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.

We look forward to welcoming you!

What about special dietary needs?

We 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.

If you have questions about Passover, including allergen and dietary information, please contact Marilyn Goldman at marilyn.goldman@tufts.edu.
