Pa s s over Passover Seders, Meals & More Passover still looks very different this year than pre-Covid. Look for information in emails and on social media about our in-person Seders, virtual participation, Passover meals, and Passover boxes. Houston Hillel will create opportunities for celebrating Passover whether you’re on campus, at home locally, or in another state. Houston Hillel’s Passover Seder and meals are sponsored by Elton and Janet Lipnick, David and Kathy Lipnick and Amy & Myles Kelman in memory of Paul and Fannie Lipnick. The Lipnick/Kelman families have generously sponsored Houston Hillel’s Passover Seders in Paul and Fannie Lipnick’s memory each year since 2008.
