A Chanukah in the ‘People’s House’
December 12, 2002
The invitation to the White House was completely unexpected. It arrived in a caligraphied envelope, with a Chanukah stamp in the corner and a menorah showing through.
A Chanukah card, I thought, but I was wrong. There was a gold presidential seal at the top of the card and a few lines of black engraving: \”President and Mrs. Bush request the pleasure of your company at a Hanukah reception to be held at the White House. Six o\’clock. Wednesday, December 6. East Entrance.\”
Not bad from a man whom most of my friends thought I was crazy to vote for, because he was a member of the \”religious right.\”
