I enjoy Passover more than any other holiday, and I got lucky this time, because my major classes were canceled for Thursday and Friday, but I was going home even if they weren't. Rabbi Eli Backman of the College Park Chabad house said that the holiday is important to spend with family. Chabad is an international organization run by individual families with the goal of making Judaism fun and accessible, Backman said. But for some Jewish students, going home for Passover is not a feasible option. But I decided to stay at school and attend Hillel's Seder, so I wouldn't have to miss classes.
Students remaining on campus can attend the Seders at Chabad.
Chabad also organized a Passover delivery service to students who requested kosher for Passover food. Backman praised Hillel's efforts.
