Delicious menu, but
That was not a Passover meal. Kreplach and noodle kugel are chometz and are not foods for Pesach. Did the onion soup have toast and cheese (au gratin) in it? If so, they just didn't keep kosher or serve traditional Passover foods so what the hell, maybe it was Passover. If you needed a ticket to get into a service, it was the High Holidays and given the meal, it was probably Rosh Hashana. Nobody would take a friend they wanted to keep to a Yom Kippur service and the food was waaay to heavy to break the fast.
The main Passover meal is the Seder, which is usually done at home so even on Shabbat there is no evening service at the synagogue, but there are congregational Seders, and the festival service is the morning after the Seder so I am having trouble understanding the meal, the service and the ticket.
All of this is small potatoes compared to the loss of your friend. I'm sorry your friend is gone.
