And who is not…

from Haaretz:

Who’s on Obama’s guest list for the opening event of Jewish Heritage Month?

And this week, it’s the Jewish community in Washington and beyond that’s buzzing over who’ll be on the list when Barack and Michelle Obama host the first-ever White House reception marking Jewish Heritage Month.

The White House won’t divulge the guest list for Thursday afternoon’s event in the East Room. But those with knowledge of the list say it’s an eclectic and interesting one – and markedly different from past Jewish-themed events like the president’s annual Hanukkah party.
