This Passover, we are celebrating freedom in a time of uncertainty. Freedom requires strong leadership and forging a path forward that is not comfortable or easy. Every day at Hillel at Virginia Tech, we empower our students to be leaders—torchbearers who speak up, reach out, and stand for their Jewish values.

Our students plan and lead all aspects of the Passover Seder. It is thanks to your ongoing support that we can provide:

Leadership Training: Equipping students with the skills to lead Jewish life on campus and beyond.
Holiday Traditions: Hundreds of Kosher-for-Passover meals served throughout the week in Blacksburg.
Staff Mentorship: Guidance and support for students as they navigate campus life.
Year-Round Community: Vibrant holiday and Shabbat programming across the entire academic calendar.

Can we count on your support of our Jewish Hokies this Passover?

$180 – The Full Passover Experience – Beyond the Seder, this gift covers a student’s entire week on campus—providing access to kosher-for-Passover lunches, snacks between classes, and a "home away from home" atmosphere.

$36 – One Student’s Seder Meal – Every student deserves a seat at the table. This gift covers the cost of a traditional Seder meal for one student, ensuring no Hokie celebrates alone.
