It's that time of year again! In order to honor Moses and the others who escaped slavery in Egypt, Jews everywhere will give up all food that rises for a full eight days. An already daunting task, this cleanse grows even more challenging for all of us college students who are already faced with limited dining options. If you are concerned about keeping kosher this Passover season, here are a few tips to help you get through the week:
1. Stock up on matzah.
BYOM (bring you own matzah) and you'll be set for the entire week!
2. Get creative with your toppings.
Cream cheese, nutella, peanut butter - matzah goes with just about anything! Have fun with your toppings and make every meal exciting.
3. Request a care package from your parents.
Nothing will make your parents happier than to hear that you want to keep kosher for the holidays. There is no doubt that they will be more than happy to send over some of your Passover favorites.
4. Go to your campus seder.
Take advantage of the delicious free food and commiserate with other students who are feeling the struggle just as much as you.
5. When all else fails, eat salad.
Quick, easy, and guaranteed to be kosher for Passover, salad is never a bad option when you're not quite sure what to eat.
