Passover at Hillel

Passover begins Wednesday night and Hillel has lots of options for Seders and meals for the holiday. Registration is closed for Seders, however, there is room for some walk-ins. So if you haven't figured out what you're doing yet on Wednesday or Thursday, come by Hillel at 7 pm (or even a little earlier) to get one of the few extra seats available. See our facebook event page for details on the Seder options at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=59528273284

Kosher for Pesach meals will be served at Hillel the whole week of Passover starting Thursday 4/9 for lunch and ending with dinner on Wednesday 4/15. Lunch is everyday from 11-1 and dinner is everyday from 6-8. Reserve ahead of time with Bon Appetit at http://diningservices.wustl.edu/kosher_form.asp . The cost of lunch is $10 and dinner is $13, and YOU CAN PAY WITH MEAL POINTS! Visit our website for full menus at http://www.stlouishillel.org/wp-content/uploads/passover/Passovermenus.pdf If you have class during lunch, call Hillel and we will be happy to box up a meal for you that you can come pick up after class. Call us at 314-935-9040.
