Columbia students are welcome to register one guest for Passover Seder. Please note that all guests must enter the building with a Columbia student and complete The Kraft Center visitor form prior to attending the meal.

Cost should not be a barrier to participate. If you are unable to pay and would like to attend any of The Grad Network experiences, please email Melissa.

This meal is generously subsidized by The Columbia/Barnard Hillel Annual Fund.

The Grad Network Passover Pop-Up Food Pantry is open to all graduate students at Columbia University and Teachers College with the intention of making kosher for Passover food more accessible for those celebrating Passover. If a gift of Kosher for Passover groceries will make it easier for you to observe the holiday this year, you are welcome to come fill a bag! 

The Passover Pop-Up Food Pantry will be open from 4-8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 9. The food pantry will include packaged Kosher for Passover food, as well as fresh produce.

We are thrilled to be able to supplement Kosher for Passover meals for graduate students. This initiative is made possible by the Columbia/Barnard Hillel Annual Fund.

**We cannot guarantee every grocery item will meet your dietary needs, but aim to have a selection so that people receive the food they need.
