As I covered the news of the White House Seder over the last few days — and then the news of a White House Seder minus POTUS and family — I came across a big cache of images of White House Seders past, those held during the Obama Administration. They made me very nostalgic, but they also lifted me up.
I thought I’d share some of my favorites here.
