“After two years of COVID, we are finally back indoors,” Gorelik said. The Seder hosted all members of the community, not just CSU students. This was the first Passover Seder held in person since 2019 because the yearly tradition was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which put a stop to this large community gathering. The Chabad of Northern Colorado website explains Seder as a traditional Passover feast that includes reading a Jewish text called the Haggadah, “drinking four cups of wine, telling stories, eating special foods, singing and other Passover traditions.” The website also explains the Seder should allow every person to feel as though they are leaving Egypt free from slavery, just as their ancestors did over 3,000 years ago. “Remembering the fact that we are free, that’s what’s important,” said Noah Stubblefield, a Colorado State University alumnus who attended the event. It just resonates with the theme of Passover about finding your own personal freedoms and trying to recreate, from the old, something new.” -Rabbi Yerachmiel Gorelik, faculty advisor for Chabad Jewish Student Organization “After two years of COVID, we are finally back indoors. These 15 steps stimulate every sense of the body through prayer and song, taste, smell and touch.
Chaia Geltser, president of Chabad Jewish Student Organization, explained this tradition celebrates when Jews became free from Egyptian slavery through the 15-step Passover Seder.
