Passover at the University of Richmond

First Night Seder

Wednesday, April 1, 2026 at 6 p.m. 

We hope you will join the Jewish community at UR for a First Night Seder on Saturday, April 1 at 6 p.m. Spiders are invited to celebrate with members of the campus community while sharing in a traditional Seder meal. There is no limit to the number of students we can serve, but please register here by Wednesday, March 25 at noon so we can have enough food for all who wish to attend.

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, Jewish Chaplain and Director of Religious Life, with any questions about the Seder or other Passover observances on campus.
