Senator Joe Lieberman was a true trailblazer and represented the hopes, aspirations, and ideals of the Jewish community in the United States. As the first member of the Jewish community to run on a major party presidential ticket, he broke barriers and showed us what was possible, and always did so while holding strong to his values and moral outlook.

Jewish Federations mourn his passing, and our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time. May his memory be for a blessing.
