More than 500 students at the State University of New York here participated in this year’s Passover Meal Plan, offered through the kosher kitchen run by the University Auxiliary Services. Jay6 Kellman, supervisor of the kosher kitchen and coordinator of the Passover arrangements, said that preparations for the Passover program began last December when university officials and student members of the Kashruth Committee first met to discuss the project.
“This is the largest kosher kitchen in the whole SUNY system, “Kellman said.”The university has been fully cooperating in every way, including the replacement of necessary kitchen equipment which couldn’t be koshered for Passover,” Twenty students worked through the night before Passover under the direction of Rabbi Moshe Chanowitz, of Capital District Lubavitch, and Kellman to properly clean and prepare all kitchen equipment and utensils for the holiday. Over 100 meals are being served daily tat the kitchen during Passover.
