Support for a wide variety of themed Seders each year to appeal to the broadest possible spectrum of Jewish students, including Orthodox, Liberal, Social Action, Graduate, and dorm-based student led Seders. 450 students have participated annually in recent years, but at a cost per student that if subsidized further, would increase participation.
