Passover Gift Baskets 

At Penn State Hillel we know how hard it can be to be away from home during the Jewish Holidays. This year we are bringing a piece of home to campus! We invite our friends, families, and loved ones to order a special Passover Basket for your Penn State student! These Passover Baskets are a symbol of ma’ot hitten. In the tradition of ma’ot hitten, communities would gather to give wheat to needy Jews so they could take it to the mill and make matzah for Passover. The essence of ma’ot hittin is to show concern for others’ spiritual well-being and to provide them with the necessary resources to participate in Jewish life!

Send over a go-to kit to celebrate a traditional Passover by filling out the form below. Each basket is $18 and 100% of the proceeds will go back to Penn State Hillel so we can continue to provide innovative programming to the students at Penn State.

Order forms will be open April 1-5. You can order yours here.

Passover Eats

Matzo will be available for students in need. Please email us at hillel@psu.edu with questions or visit our offices at 114-117 Pasquerilla Spiritual Center to pick up your box!
