WHAT'S HAPPENING @ UALBANY?
Seders & First Days of
Passover
There will be NO
Seders this year on Campus, Shabbos House will be closed, as the majority
of students will be away for the extended Spring Break. If you are up here and need
a nice place to spend the holiday, give us (438-4227) or Aviva at Hillel
(489-8573*24) a call, local families enjoy having guests. Aviva Snyder, Director of
Jewish Life for Hillel will be hosting a Seder at her home and students up
here are most welcome to join. Call her 489-8573 x24.
Here's a piece from our "Ask Rabbi Mendel" page, since several asked the
same question:
Q.
I'm tied up on the Seder Night, and can only spare a few minutes with no
nearby Seder. What's the basic minimum I can do?
A. I wish you could hook up with a nearby Seder (see
Chabad.org) but if
you really can't and you don't have much time - here's the bare-bone
basics:
After nightfall on the night of the Seder, recline as you (1) eat (at
least) 2oz of Matzah, (2) drink 4 cups of Kosher wine or grape-juice, and
also be sure to (3) say a little something about G-d taking us out of
Egypt back then, and its relevance today. If you have some (4) romaine
lettuce for the bitter herb, that's even better. Obviously the more you
can say of the Haggadah, and celebrate with others - the better, but this
is the very basic obligation. A Big Mitzvah, don't miss it!
Dutch Kosher Dining will not
be open this Passover
Kosher for Passover TV
Dinners will be available thru Dutch Dining on dates that the cafeteria is

Being
that we did not originally budget for Passover (due to the extended break)
the L'chaim group applied for Supplemental Funding from Student
Association, especially important this year that students will be back for
a day or two of Passover and even Kosher Dutch Dining will not be open. We
are grateful to Student Association for recognizing this need and
sponsoring approximately one-third of the food-costs.
