The South Lawn of the White House was illuminated Wednesday as thousands were expected to attend the National Hanukkah Menorah lighting, celebrating the start of the Jewish lunar calendar on the first night of Hanukkah.
Thursday, the beginning of Hanukkah and Thanksgiving, carries unique significance as it marks the last time for 70,000-plus years the two holidays will fall on the same date.
The President and First Lady wished the nation a happy “Thanksgivukkah,” to mark the rare occurrence, in a statement issued by the White House.
“As we gather with loved ones around the turkey, the menorah, or both, we celebrate some fortunate timing and give thanks for miracles both great and small,” Obama said.
The eight-day holiday of Hanukkah represents the Jewish people’s resolve to preserve their religion. The President said it is in that spirit that he and the First Lady, “look forward to joining members of the Jewish community in America, in the State of Israel, and around the world as we work together to build a future that is bright and full of hope.”
