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 Wednesday, April 5, 2023 and ends at nightfall April 13, 2023. It 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. If you have questions regarding the duty to accommodate based on creed, please contact the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion at humanrights@humber.ca.   

On behalf of the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion and Student Success & Engagement, we wish you a happy Passover! Chag Pesach Sameach!
