Crowd advance for President Obama's address at Adas Israel Congregation for Jewish American Heritage Month. Historic venue: first synagogue to host a sitting president when President Grant attended in 1876, and the first to host Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Significant security and crowd logistics challenge — ticketed attendees lined around the block for hours. Pete Souza photographed the President visiting a preschool classroom. Major press coverage from TIME, Washington Post, and Times of Israel. The President was introduced as 'a champion of freedom' by the Rabbi.
