The President will be hosting a small group of friends and staff for tonight's Seder, a first at the White House;

On Thursday, when he hosts a Seder at the White House, Obama will not only be fulfilling that hope shared during his campaign, he will also become the first sitting president to attend, let alone host, the Jewish ritual feast at the executive mansion.

“To break Matzo, so to speak, in the official White House dining room is historic,” said William Daroff, the director of the Washington office of United Jewish Community.
