Joe Lieberman, the first Orthodox Jew in the U.S. Senate, wasn’t a typical politician. Soft-spoken yet resolute, he held fast to his values and even crossed party lines, prioritizing principle over party loyalty. Observing Shabbat during critical votes and working with both sides to address America’s most pressing issues, Lieberman’s story is one of conviction, and his legacy is a powerful reminder that sometimes, standing firm in faith can be the boldest act of all.
