Obama hosted his first seder at the White House in 2009 in the Old Family Dining Room.

The tradition began the prior year, when three junior aides gathered for a seder during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania. Then-candidate Obama surprised the group by joining in the dinner in the basement of the Sheraton Hotel in Harrisburg.

The seder could be an opportunity for other Jewish staff members in the Trump White House to mark the Passover holiday, which celebrates the ancient Israelites’ freedom from slavery in Egypt.
