Passover Food on Campus

L’Chaim Station in Bear’s Den
Again in 2019: The L’Chaim station in Bear’s Den will be OPEN for Passover! Lunches on Monday through Thursday, April 22 – 25. Dinners on the evenings of Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, April 22 - 24.

Pre-packaged meals certified for Passover will be available at Paws & Go Market, Millbrook Market, and throughout campus.

(Brought to you by WashU Dining Services and certified Kosher for Pesach by the Vaad Hoeir of St. Louis.)

Shopping for Passover

Passover foods can be purchased in Paws and Go Market on the South 40. The nearest Schnucks supermarket to campus ( Richmond Heights) has a modest selection of Kosher-for-Passover food options. Better yet, is the Schnucks at Ladue Crossing. Simon Kohn’s is a bit further from campus but it has an excellent selection of Passover food options. As Kohn's delivers to Chabad House, it is possible to phone in an order and ask that it be delivered with the Chabad delivery, however, in the busy lead-up to Pesach, this may not work perfectly.

(Note: Just because something happens to be in a Passover aisle does not mean that it is automatically Kosher for Passover. Some Passover-certified food products look quite similar to their non-Passover counterparts. In fact, some Manischewitz brand Matzos (!) are actually not Kosher for Passover. Other Passover-certified foods are restricted to Jews of Sefardic descent, children, and people who are ill.)

'POP UP MATZAH STOP' ON CAMPUS

At various locations on campus.

What is Pesach?
The eight-day festival of Passover is celebrated in the early spring, from the 15th through the 22nd of the Hebrew month of Nissan. Passover (Pesach) commemorates the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. Pesach is observed by avoiding leaven, and highlighted by the Seder meals that include four cups of wine, eating matzah and bitter herbs, and retelling the story of the Exodus
