Kosher for Passover Food at Tufts
Only kosher for Passover food is served in the Granoff Family Hillel Center or served for Hillel events during this week. In addition, buffets are featured in both dining halls offering a variety of Passover foods. Students wishing to follow stricter observance may enroll in Tufts Dining Services Passover dinner program to receive a hot meal daily. For more information on this hot mail option contact Julie Lampie, R.D.

Sale of Chometz
If it is your custom to ritually dispose of any chometz (i.e., leaven products that are not to be eaten during Passover,) in your possession, you can complete the Sale of Chometz form and return to the Hillel Center by 10 am on Thursday, April 21. Please contact Rabbi Jeffrey Summit if you have any questions about this process.
