CNN<\/em>\u00a0anchor Jake Tapper said that before his in-person interview with Ukrainian President\u00a0Volodymyr<\/a>\u00a0Zelensky during Passover, he gave the Jewish world leader a box of matzah.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019s particularly observant, but Zelensky\u2019s Jewish. When I came for the interview I gave him a box of matzah. And he said \u2018thanks,’\u201d Tapper, who is also Jewish,\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0during his guest appearance Monday on \u201cThe Late Show With Stephen Colbert.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Tapper \u2014\u00a0CNN\u2019<\/em>s chief Washington correspondent and the co-anchor on \u201cState of the Union with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash\u201d and \u201cThe Lead with Jake Tapper\u201d \u2014 was in Ukraine for two weeks in April for an exclusive interview with Zelensky. He also spoke to Colbert about spending Passover in the Eastern European country, saying, \u201cIt was the first time I had not had a\u00a0seder<\/em>\u00a0in my entire life. I had a one-man\u00a0seder.<\/em>\u00a0The local Orthodox rabbi \u2013 believe it or not, there is a local Orthodox rabbi \u2013 gave me a little\u00a0seder<\/em>\u00a0in a box.<\/span><\/p>\n

He then joked about Orthodox rabbis, \u201cThere\u2019s one everywhere. When they land on Mars there\u2019s gonna be a Lubavitcher rabbi [saying] \u201cWelcome!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

During their interview in April at the residential palace in Kyiv, Tapper talked to Zelensky about Ukraine\u2019s ongoing war with Russia, and also asked the president if he had a message for Ukrainian Jews and \u201cthe message of freedom\u201d as they celebrate Passover.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI believe the way we fight for freedom is the most important message,\u201d Zelensky replied. \u201cBecause you can send a lot of messages with words and they come from different people. But when it comes to action, only a few act on their words, and today I believe Ukrainian people show by their actions that they are fighting and protecting freedom.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
