Spring Fair booth
description: JSA would often run a falafel stand at Spring Fair, exposing other students to Israeli food and giving Jewish students a kosher option. This was a very popular booth, so much so that when the University scheduled Spring Fair during Passover, the Black Student Union petitioned the school to change the date to accommodate the Jewish students.
