Observance of Passover

Members of our UC community will be observing the Jewish festival Passover (or Pesach in Hebrew) from sundown on Saturday 12 April, to nightfall on Sunday 20 April, (or in the Hebrew Calendar, Nissan 15-22). Pesach celebrates the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt. You can find out more here. There are varying levels of observance of Pesach among the Jewish community; students in halls of residence or flatting might participate in a celebration of Seder (ritual meal), but not the traditional thorough spring-cleaning of the kitchen. Some will abstain from any leavened bread or products containing yeast for Pesach week, and others (usually for medical reasons) do not.  

We wish all those participating a wonderful Pesach.
