Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber are committed to the principles of human rights, equity and inclusion. Passover is a major Jewish holiday which starts at sundown on April 22, 2024 and ends at nightfall on April 30, 2024. Passover commemorates the Biblical story of escape from slavery in ancient Egypt.  

Many Humber students, faculty and staff will be celebrating Passover which is typically celebrated by a meal on the first night of Passover called Seder where families gather and foods of symbolic significance are eaten. Specific food abstentions may be followed for the rest of the week.  

Please be mindful that students, faculty and staff may require accommodations, such as time off or extensions, to celebrate. For questions about accommodations or the duty to accommodation, please contact the Office of Human Rights & Harassment at humanrights@humber.ca.

On behalf of the Division of Inclusion and Belonging, we wish you a happy Passover! Chag Pesach Sameach!
