 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * Use of prose, grammar, and spelling are consistent with Wikipedia policies and common practices.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):  d (copyvio and plagiarism):
 * Well cited throughout and backed up by quality sources. The Huffington Post article (reference #5) states this is "the first Seder to be celebrated in the White House." This conflicts with the Politico article (reference #8). Do you know for sure if the 1993 seder was in the White House or just on the White House compound (like it was in 2017)?
 * ✅ Yes, the Obama seder was the first one to be held in the White House. I found another ref which indicates that the 1993 seder was held in the Indian Treaty Room, which is in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Yoninah (talk) 21:58, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

After a careful review and some minor changes from the editors, I believe this article meets the standards for a GA class article and am passing it. Thank you, for your work and submission.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * I'm not sure it's possible to be broad, but the editors have done a good job including the various elements of a seder and how the president participated in the activities.
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * NPOV looks good, content on other Presidential involvement/non-involvement is included.
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * this article is stable and there are no apparent edit wars.
 * 1) It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * Multiple images are included that show the seder in progress for several years, as well as one of the staffer who helped start the tradition.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * thank you for the review and for all your kind words! Yoninah (talk) 14:05, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
