Passover

Celebrate

with Illini Hillel

Passover 2024

April 22 – April 30 | 15-22 Nisan 5784 

Passover, one of the most celebrated holidays in the Jewish world, commemorates the biblical Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. The week-long holiday is celebrated by munching on matzah, slabs of crisp, unleavened bread, and abstaining from chametz, or leavened food. Other observances include the seder (a ritual meal), lively song, intense discussion and of course, debate. We were once slaves in Egypt, now we are free… LET’S EAT!​

Unlike many Jewish holidays, one of the primary rituals of Passover, the seder, takes place in the home. Hillel doors are open and ready to create a home on campus for you to celebrate. This year we are so excited to invited parents and families to join students at Hillel for Sedarim and meals this year! Sign up opens soon!
