Joe Lieberman on How He Strayed From Shabbat Observance and How He Returned
Former Senator Joe Lieberman has been a role model for many observant Jews in combining their observance with full participation in the greater society.
Before leaving office he sat down for an interview with Allison Josephs, founder and director of Jew in the City, a blog dedicated to to breaking down stereotypes about religious Jews and offering a humorous, meaningful outlook into Orthodox Judaism.
Jew in the City is reshaping the way society views Orthodox Jews and Judaism by publicizing the message that Orthodox Jews can be funny, approachable, educated, pro-women and open-minded—and that Orthodox Judaism links the Jewish people to a deep and beautiful heritage that is just as relevant today as it ever was.

Very moving. He serves by example. Not very funny, though
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. Not everything we post is "funny." Please read the masthead. This fits in the "Yiddishe nachas" and "warm feeling" categories. Check back tomorrow and Monday for really funny posts.
