Passover 2023

RSVP for Seders here! Please submit the form by the end of the day on Wednesday, March 29 if possible. We may not be able to accommodate RSVPs made after Sunday, April 2nd.

Pay ahead of time for Passover meals here.

Wednesday, April 5th

• • Slifka Communal Seder, 7:15 pm at Slifka (80 Wall St.). This will be led by Rav Jason Rubenstein and Rachel Leiken, and will be a fun and meaningful seder with both traditional and interpretive elements and discussion.
  • Traditional Seder Rav Alex Ozar and Lauren Steinberg will be hosting a traditional, Orthodox seder in their home. Email alex.ozar@yale.edu with questions.
  • Host your own Seder See details below

We are excited to support you in hosting your own seder with friends on either the first or second night of Passover!

There are two options for food for your seders. You can pick up food from Slifka during the day on Wednesday, April 5, or you can prepare your own food and be reimbursed for groceries/food orders. For both of these options, you can pick up a seder plate with all of the ritual items, as well as haggadot (books for the seder) from Slifka on Friday.

To select either of these options, you must use the RSVP form when it goes live. You will be asked for the names and SIDs of those attending your seder, since this is how we are able to provide reimbursement or meals.

Slifka Seders are open to all Yale students, staff, faculty, affiliates, and guests. To RSVP to attend as a guest, please fill out the RSVP form and write to rachel.leiken@yale.edu. We will follow up with you about payment once you register.

Students do not need to pay for seders! Students on meal plan should swipe to use a meal credit (if this poses a problem for you, please write to rachel.leiken@yale.edu). For students not on meal plan, the cost of the meal is covered by a generous donor. All Yale affiliates who are not students (staff, faculty, etc.) and their families are asked to pay $18 per person, and other guests are asked to pay $36. While this helps us defray the costs for catering seders, if these amounts present a financial hardship please reach out to rachel.leiken@yale.edu.
