UPDATE: April 28, 8:35 p.m.
Amongst the unrest, Jews for Palestine UIUC have set up a Seder meal— a symbolic assortment of foods traditionally eaten on the first or second night of the Jewish holiday, Passover.
The holiday started on April 22 and ends after nightfall on April 30.
The organization cited the meal’s significance as reasoning for the ceremony.
“Passover is about solidarity with oppressed people everywhere,” said the Jews for Palestine UIUC Instagram in a statement to The Daily Illini.
Members’ demands are in congruence with the messages of fellow protesters.
“We are here to demand the University divest from Zionist weapon manufacturers and institutions, disclose all financial assets, and grant amnesty to all student protesters,” they stated.
