Jewish students and their parents said they are hurt and angry that they must choose between celebrating Passover or attending an initiation ceremony and dinner for a prestigious national honor society at UW-Madison on Saturday.
“It’s just very inconsiderate and disrespectful of the university to schedule an event on Passover,” said Fred Tabak of Milwaukee, questioning whether the same decision would have been made if the holiday was Good Friday or Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
