Political dignitaries, family, and friends gathered on Friday to pay tribute to the late Joe Lieberman at a funeral service in Stamford, Connecticut. Lieberman, a four-term U.S. senator, passed away at the age of 82 in New York City due to complications from a fall.
The service took place at Congregation Agudath Sholom in Stamford, the hometown of Lieberman. Growing up as the son of a liquor store owner, Lieberman was deeply connected to the congregation, which played a significant role in shaping his early religious beliefs.
