President George W. Bush Attends a Menorah Lighting Ceremony
This photograph was taken by Eric Draper on December 10, 2001, during a menorah lighting ceremony in the East Garden Room. Although previous administrations had observed Hanukkah, and menorah lighting ceremonies had been held in the Oval Office during the Bill Clinton administration, this was the first year that a menorah lighting ceremony was held in the Executive Residence.
