Only our beloved, adventurouse, diverse President could bring a Seder to the White House. We loved the story of how it came about, referencing the primary workers in Harrisburg, PA last year, celebrating in a basement hotel because they could not get home. Our President, how typical, was present then. And promised "Next Year in the White House."

Here in my home in New Zealand we had the most important guest of all that can be invited to any Seder, Eliyahu Ha Navi. Without him a Seder is just a dinner. He was also accomapniedd with Miriam, who brought with her water. We had an orange and an olive on our Seder plate. The orange was there as there is a place at our Seder for an orange, just as there is a place in my Synagogue for a woman on the bimah and the olive was there for our hopes of peace in the Middle East. I'm not just thinking, Israelis and Palestinians, I'm also thinking, Iraqi and Kurds, Iranians and Baha''is, Muslims and Christians. May there be peace where ever peace is needed and may we all be forgiven for the. And let us all say, "AMEIN!". sin of self righteousness

This is a phenominal marking of the coming together of the followers of Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ) and the children of Israel. To the surprise of many, Jesus was a devoted Jew his whole life. It was His custom to keep the Sabbath, but He never allowed it to Keep Him. He follewed the laws and ordinances and in fullfillment of them became the Passover Lamb without blemish and no bones broken on the evening of the preperation for this great day. He rained down his Holy Spirit on Pentecoast, the Feast of Weeks, which fullfilles it. We are still awaiting the fullfillment of the Blowing of the "Trumpets" and Tabernacles were all of humanity will feast in New Jeruselem with Christ the King(Zech 14). Isn't this wonderful. Glory be to the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth. Shalom

Huh. Did they have two seders, or did they pretend to be Israeli and only have one?
Did they have gefilte fish?
Did they wear kippahs?
And, last but certainly not least: did President Obama get drunk? =]
