Passover FAQs
Can students return home to celebrate passover with their families?
According to university policies, students have been instructed "to avoid all non-essential personal travel." You can read more about Brown's Travel-Related Guidance here, and review the university's broader "Healthy Brown" initiative here.
While returning home for Passover and then returning to campus is possible, given the proximity of Passover and the end of hybrid classes (April 8th), it may not make a lot of sense for a student to return to campus if they go home for Passover. Students traveling out of state are asked to quarantine for seven days upon returning, which would mean they don't emerge until hybrid classes are over (or mostly over) and quite close to when they must depart again. Students must vacate Brown housing by April 24th (unless they are graduating seniors, in which case they have until May 3rd.)
How can students access Kosher-for-Passover food?
For Brown Students: Brown RISD Hillel is providing all food for the first Seder of Passover (and enough ritual items for two Seders) and is partnering with Brown Dining Services to provide the Second Seder Meal + Kosher-for-Passover lunch and dinner for the duration of the holiday (3/28 to 4/4). Food pickup will be available at three convenient campus locations. All meals are catered by Tova's Catering, a quality Kosher caterer in MA (supervision under KVH). Students can pay for Passover meals with a meal plan swipe, Bear Bucks at the door, or have their account billed for the weekly rate. Students can sign up and choose their pickup location above. Registration closes March 10th.
For RISD Students: Brown RISD Hillel is providing all food for the first Seder of Passover (and enough ritual items for two Seders) and is partnering with RISD Dining to provide the Second Seder Meal + Kosher-for-Passover lunch and dinner for the duration of the holiday (3/28 to 4/4). For students on a RISD meal plan, RISD Dining will deduct dining points from their account for the meals they select. Students not on a meal plan can pay per meal or choose the weekly rate for all 16 meals. Meal pick-ups will be at Hillel. Registration is required and available here. Registration closes on March 10th.
*Students for whom the above options do not apply are encouraged to be in touch with Brown RISD Hillel’s office for further support.

How will students celebrate Seder?
Hillel is working to ensure students can celebrate Passover Seder and also remain compliant with the university's safety policies. Students are able to receive everything they need to celebrate Seder in a variety of ways:
- Seder with their smaller pod or friends: For students who have an established pod, Hillel's DIY Seder initiative will provide students with everything they need to conduct an authentic and fun Seder (or Seders) in the comfort of their own dorm spaces.
- Virtual Seder: We are preparing engaging and interactive virtual "Zoom Seders" for students who would like to connect with a broader community of students on (and off) College Hill. More information and opportunities to sign up for virtual Seders will be made available through Hillel's website and newsletter over the coming weeks.
- Possible In-person Seder, giving priority to First-Year students: Hillel is currently working with our university partners to determine if an in-person Seder experience, limited to students in the dorms and prioritizing first-years, is possible given current restrictions on in-person gatherings. More information about this possible experience will be made available shortly.
