Mr. Obama Surprised Aides with Passover, Seder Dinner at White House

Mr. Obama is showing respoect to various cultures. After touring some muslim countries where he showed respect to their culture, he came home to participate in the Jewish Seder. Everyone is saying that he will be in Jerusalem next year. After returning home and meeting with kings, queens and other heads of state, some bloggers feel he should have not greeted the Saudi Arabia King and the Queen of England a certain way.

What is the Seder?

"The Seder, held in the Old Family Dining Room at the White House with several aides and their families, included the traditional Passover dishes, matzo ball soup, brisket and kugel. The White House chefs prepared the meal after consulting family recipes from several Seder participants.

While the Obamas hosted the dinner, it was overseen by Eric Lesser, a White House aide who helped organize the Seder in Harrisburg during the campaign last year. He is now a special assistant to Mr. Obama’s adviser David Axelrod."
