Hanukkah at the White House

The president and first lady hosted a Hanukkah reception in the Grand Foyer of the White House on Thursday evening. The Obamas were joined by Rabbi Larry Bazer to light the 90-year-old menorah, which hails from a temple in Long Island, New York that was heavily flooded during Hurricane Sandy. For the occasion, Mrs. O wore a Jason Wu dress, debuted last year for a holiday event, here. An Alexis Bittar Teatro Modern pin at the collar completed the look.

Thank you for posting this. I was at this party. Actually, in this photo. Michelle Obama is absolutely breathtaking in person. We chatted for a moment. She is as gracious as she is beautiful. What an evening
@Avjosh, wow! We're happy for you! Share details please, we'd love to hear more. Everyone that I've tlked to that has met her (or him, for that matter) has always said that pivctures & television don't do them any justice. They are lovelier inside and out, I believe it.
As for our Michelle's ensemble, it's a repeat worth repeating. Oh, by the way, our President is looking rather dashing himself!
Lovely!
They are an amazing couple. Off the charts. It was positively magical. Michelle is amazing !!! She is so beautiful. It was an honor to be invited to the White House!
