Video: Senator Lieberman’s Religious Journey

Former US Senator Joseph Lieberman, the Vice Presidential Candidate for Al Gore, shared his inspiring story in an exclusive interview with Jew in the City about his personal religious journey, from how he stopped keeping Shabbat in college and why he returned to it years later.

Watch the video and be inspired by his story. You’ll be fascinated by his insightful comments on being religious while succeeding in your career; on gender roles and women in careers, and more.

The Senator became famous for how he continued to faithfully observe the Sabbath during his years in politics, sometimes walking for four miles through Washington DC when he was needed for a vote on Friday night or Saturday or an issue of national security. He published a book a few years ago called “The Gift of Rest: Rediscovering the Beauty of the Sabbath.”
