Passover

We’re looking forward to celebrating Passover together with Seders, experiences across campus, and more, beginning on Saturday, April 12! Opportunities on this page are just for Columbia/Barnard undergrads. Graduate Students are welcome to connect with The Grad Network for Passover opportunities, including Seder and meals on campus.

Passover Seders and experiences are a free gift for Columbia/Barnard/MSM undergraduates. All sign ups are through KraftTexts, our texting RSVP system.  If it’s your first time using KraftTexts, text “hi” to 917-717-5528 and it’ll start by asking you a few short questions.  After you get a message that says “Woohoo!” you’re ready to go! Keywords to sign up for Passover meals and experiences will be available close to the start of the holiday.
