President Obama on Monday evening, March 25, 2013 will host his annual Passover seder at the White House. Joined by the First Family and about sixteen family friends and aides, the President will mark the first night of the holiday with a private dinner that will feature guests' family recipes recreated by the White House chefs, a reading of the Maxwell House Haggadah, and the traditional hunt for the Afikomen, a broken piece of matzoh.
Monday's seder will be President Obama's fifth at the White House since taking office, and the first of his second term.
"After enjoying Seders with family and friends in Chicago and on the campaign trail, I’m proud that I've now brought this tradition into the White House," President Obama told a cheering crowd of more than 2,000 during his centerpiece address to the Israeli people on Thursday in Jerusalem.
"I wanted my daughters to experience the Haggadah, and the story at the center of Passover that makes this time of year so powerful," President Obama said.
"For me, personally, growing up in far-flung parts of the world and without firm roots, the story spoke to a yearning within every human being for a home."
