The Maccabeats At The WhiteHouse for American Jewish Heritage Month Ceremony (video)

US President Barak Obama held a reception in the White House yesterday in honor of American Jewish Heritage Month. American Jewish Heritage Month, being in May, pays tribute to the American Jews through the history of America that have helped form the fabric of American history, culture and society.

President Obama held a reception yesterday recognizing Jewish Americans in the arts, science, the military, business and industry, and in public and community service. In attendence were Jewish community leaders and members of Congress, along with stars like Judy Blume and Sandy Koufax, along with Israeli Ambassador to the US Michael Oren, among others.
