For anyone planning any type of school/community/club/activist event or party, the first two nights of Passover this year (2018) are:

Friday night 3/30

Saturday night 3/31

Most Jews won’t be able to attend events on these nights. Passover is one of the most important Jewish holidays, and most Jews will be attending a communal meal with their families or communities on these two nights.

Please avoid scheduling important events then, just as it would be inappropriate to schedule important events on Christmas Eve.

In addition, most Jews avoid products containing wheat, barley, etc during Passover, which begins (as mentioned above) on Friday night 3/30 and ends in the evening of Saturday 4/7. While it is okay (though not ideal) to schedule events during that week, if you are and the main food/drink involves cookies, bread, pasta, flour, cake, beer, etc, please provide an alternate food for Jewish participants.

Please reblog, even if you’re not Jewish yourself! Thank you ?
