Passover at the University of Richmond

First Night Seder

Wednesday, April 21, 2027 at 6 p.m. 

We hope you will save the date to join the Jewish community at UR for a First Night Seder on Wednesday, April 21 at 6 p.m. Spiders are invited to celebrate with members of the campus community while sharing in a traditional Seder meal. More information will be available at the start of spring classes, and registration will open by February 2027.

Food Throughout The Week

Enjoy a special menu of Kosher for Passover-style food in D-Hall throughout the entire week of Passover. There is prepackaged food by the special diet refrigerator as well as Kosher for Passover-style food prepared by the chefs in D-Hall, labeled, and integrated into the rest of the cafeteria. Students will also be able to find Matzah Ball soup at dining locations throughout campus during Passover.

Please contact Rabbi Josh Jeffreys, Associate University Chaplain and Campus Rabbi, with any questions about the Seder or other Passover observances on campus.
