Next Year's White House Seder

Well, this is pretty cool.

One small thought: If the President would like to elevate the importance of the Passover seder even more than he has already, he might consider replacing the annual White House Hannukah party(currently the big Jewish White House party) with an annual White House seder. The fact is, Hannukah is a minor holiday that has been taken over by Christmas; Passover has held its own against Easter and is the most popular - and interfaith-friendly - of all Jewish holidays. It also speaks to the relationship between Jews and other traditionally oppressed communities, but particularly between blacks and Jews. Passover is, in short, a holiday with good politics.

A large seder would be less fun for the President, perhaps, but would be a great way to bring together all of the President's closest friends and allies in the Jewish community.
