Passover Seders, Meals & More
Passover looks very different this year than in the past. Look for information in emails and on social media about our virtual Seders, Passover meals, and Passover boxes. We’ll be in person and online. Houston Hillel will create opportunities for celebrating Passover whether you’re on campus, at home locally, or in another state. Houston Hillel’s 2021 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.
Sh ab b at Shabbat with Houston Hillel
Shabbat takes place every Friday night at Houston Hillel, campus, around the community and virtually. Shabbat takes many forms, including grabbing Shabags (Shabbat bags with everything for making Shabbat with your friends), picnic Shabbat dinners, and virtual gatherings for welcoming Shabbat with candles, juice and challah. Houston Hillel’s Shabbat dinners are sponsored by Elton and Janet Lipnick, David and Kathy Lipnick, and Amy and Myles Kelman in memory of Paul and Fannie Lipnick. The Lipnick/Kelman families have generously sponsored Houston Hillel’s Shabbat dinners in Paul and Fannie Lipnick’s memory each year since 2009.
