{"product_id":"next-year-in-the-white-house-barack-obamas-first-presidential-seder","title":"Next Year in the White House: Barack Obama's First Presidential Seder","description":"The true story of how a small Seder dinner on the campaign trail inspired Barack Obama to bring the tradition into the White House and host the first ever Presidential Passover celebration.\n\nIn 1800, President John Adams held the first formal Christmas dinner at\nthe newly built White House. In 1878, President Rutherford B. Hayes\nobserved Easter with a public “Egg Roll.\" But it wasn’t until 2009 that a US president officially celebrated Passover.\n\nA year earlier, on the campaign trail, three staffers had to get creative in order to host a Seder dinner. They gathered in a hotel basement, joined by candidate Barack Obama. They made the most of their surroundings and modest dinner, shared the stories and rituals of the holiday, and found connections between their communities. They made a toast and a promise to a future, grander celebration: next year in the White House.\n\nFor the first time, this story is told for picture book readers by award-winning author Richard Michelson and lauded illustrator EB Lewis in this special partnership with PJ Library.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0593711580\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.0593711580.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lewis, E.B.|Michelson, Richard\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Excellent condition with just a hint of character.
