"No matter what Seder you go to, there will be a plate with six different small foods to signify different parts of the holiday," said Emily Rosenblum, 22, a senior from Marietta majoring in biology and international affairs and the student president of Hillel.
During the week, Hillel will host a meal plan for Passover. Nonetheless, Rosenblum recognizes that until recently, it was sometimes difficult to observe Passover on campus.
"It can be hard to eat appropriately on campus. I know my freshman year when I was in the dorms, not everybody can necessarily afford to [go] off campus for lunch," she said.
However, since her sophomore year, Rosenblum said Hillel has worked with the University to provide Passover-friendly meals to students in the dining halls. The dining halls will offer matzo and ingredients of the various dishes so students can determine if something is acceptable to eat during Passover.
At the end of the week, Hillel also has planned a "carb fest" to celebrate the end of Passover, said Rosenblum.
"People usually go a little crazy - eat a whole loaf of bread."
