President Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden hosted a party Thursday marking the second day of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Obama offered condolences to those who have died in a forest fire in northern Israel before recounting the story of the Maccabees fighting in the Temple in Jersualem watching a day's worth of oil burn for eight.

However, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs later went on to urge Israeli Prime Minister to enact a 90-day freeze on the new lighting of Hanukkah candles as a gesture to Palestinians.
