It is funny how times change. Amazingly a Jewish Telegraph Agency report reads:

In 1943, rabbis marched to the White House to demand action from the President of the United States to save European Jewry from the Nazis. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt responded by sneaking out the White House back door to avoid seeing the rabbis.

Today, this Passover we experienced the first Passover Seder being hosted in the White House by a sitting President, an African-American President who was accused of being everything possible during his campaign to the White House. Why is this president different from all others…? Perhaps the following articles will help us understand. — A Zissen Pesach!
