Hanover, NH—A Passover Seder was held at sundwn, Wednesday, April 8 at Hillel/Roth Center for Jewish Life in Hanover, New Hampshire. The Pavilion, Dartmouth’s kosher eatery, provided the first night Pesach meal to over 250 students and community members. While the majority of the participating students were from Dartmouth’s Hillel, many non-Jewish members also joined in the evening’s welcoming and ceremonial rituals. Though chilly outside, the warmth and serenity of the holiday were illuminated inside of the Roth Center by the long tables set with kashered Passover vessels and utensils.

 

Seder menu items included Matzo Ball Soup, Grilled Marinated Chicken, Whipped Sweet Potato and Fresh Asparagus. Non-floured assorted gourmet desserts included a deliciously sweet Seven Layer Cake, and a light crunchy Praline Nut Roll. Because this holiday is rich with traditional family recipes, the menu was conceived by Pavilion customers who expressed their Seder meal preferences.  

The Pavilion is Dartmouth’s first Kosher/Halal restaurant and is open to the public.Dartmouth Dining Services and The Pavilion provided Pesach meals throughout the eight days of Passover.
