Obama's Passover Seder Meal at the White House

I thought it was kind of symbolic and appropriate for the first black president to have the first White House Seder.

The Seder is integral to Jewish faith and identity. If not for the Exodus, as explained in the Haggadah, the Jewish people would still be slaves in Egypt.

Therefore, the Seder is an occasion for praise and thanksgiving and for re-dedication to the idea of liberation.
