Young adult activist Jodi Berris once again is organizing a meal swap for young adults  in need of a place for Passover Seders and all other Yom Tov meals.

Those willing to host a meal and young adults (18-39 year old) wanting a place to eat a Pesach meal should contact Berris by Monday, April 14. E-mail Jodiberris@aol.com or call 248-760-0743 to either host or attend a meal.

Berris matches hosts and guests based on location and Passover kashrut status. Use the number codes below to indicate meals you want to host or attend and kashrut level. Hosts should also indicate how many guests you can accommodate. The meal/Passover kashrut options are as follows:

1. 1st night Seder (Saturday, April 19)
2. 1st day lunch (Sunday, April 20)

3. 2nd night Seder (Sunday, April 20)
4. 2nd day lunch (Monday, April 21)
5. Last Yom Tov days 1st night dinner (Friday, April 25)
6. Last Yom Tov days 1st day lunch (Saturday, April 26)
7. Last Yom Tov days 2nd night dinner (Saturday, April 26)
8. Last Yom Tov days 2nd day lunch (Sunday, April 27)
9. Can accommodate people who do not keep kosher for Passover
10. Can accommodate those who keep kosher for Passover to some degree
11. Can accommodate those who are strictly kosher for Passover
