Freedom Seder "Hall of Fame"

Student organizers 1999-2008


We would like to extend our heart-felt gratitude to the students who created and sustained the annual Freedom Seder at UMass Amherst. You have given our community a great gift,
a life-affirming tradition that promotes mutual understanding and respect between people
of different cultural and religious backgrounds.

We also want to acknowledge the organizations which have lent their support to this effort: Jewish Student Union (JSU), Black Student Union (BSU), Delta Xi Phi Multicultural Sorority (DXP), Muslim Students Association (MSA), and the Office of Jewish Affairs (OJA).

"Thank You!!"
—Larry Goldbaum, Office of Jewish Affairs
