President Bush Participates in a Hanukkah Celebration

In this photograph, taken on December 21, 1989, President George H. W. Bush, Vice President Dan Quayle, and Second Lady Marilyn T. Quayle participate in a Hanukkah celebration in the Old Executive Office Building. During the ceremony, religious leaders from the Synagogue Council of America presented President Bush with a menorah that was later displayed at the White House. This was the first time a menorah was displayed at the White House. Located west of the White House, the Old Executive Office Building was formerly called the State, War, and Navy Building and later renamed the Eisenhower Executive Office Building after President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
