I was very moved by the loving relationship between Joe Lieberman and his very special wife, Hadassah. I learned about their relationship after reading "Hadassah." The book was a beautiful memoir. In all its sadness, Hadassah was able to give the reader hope for a better future even when the future may look bleak. I send my condolences to the entire family. Ginny Blank, Southold, New York

Dear Lieberman family,

My name is Raquel Eidelstein Ohrbach. I am so sad together with you for your great loss.

Matt (), I don't know if you remember "Morah Rachel" from 5th grade in Ezra Academy, or your participation in the play we put on about the Shoah in 1977. You, Matt, were one of the main actors, and you did well, and your father was so proud.

Years later when I moved back to Israel, there was a point when I needed help with my social security affair. I called upon your father, and he remembered me. He stood by me as only a , like him would do. That was in the year 1997. I will always cherish that memory of him. I am sure Hashem will never forget this either.

" "
is interpreted by some as "may the place that he played in your life bring you comfort". I sure feel comforted that I was privileged to have known him.

Dear Lieberman Family,
What an honor it was to graduate with Joe from Stamford High in the Class of 1960. We all knew he was destined for greater things as he represented our class as President. Whenever you saw Joe in the halls he would always recognized everyone with a hello, a kind jester or a smile. A life taken away from family, friends and our Country. May He Rest in Peace.

I am so saddened by the death of my classmate and friend Joe Lieberman. We were on many committees at Stamford High School. He was an inspiration to all the 650 students having been voted Most Popular, Most Likely to Suceed, President and Student Council Presidents. When he could, he came to many of our reunions at the Italian Center and made it a point to talk to so many!
God bless you Joe and my sympathy to his family

I new Joe for about 50 years. I grew up in New Haven on Bellevue Road when Joe lived on the street behind me, I was a member of the New Haven Democratic Party, in later years I mover to the town of Cromwell and i became the Democratic Party Town Chairman. I always supported Joe even when he became an independent and worked on his elections.

I was profoundly saddened to learn of Senator Leiberman´s passing.
As a dedicated American and a proud member of the Jewish faith, I deeply respected his unwavering commitment to our country and to his staunch commitment to his religion.
It was most apparent that he embraced the foundations of America and the Torah. He was a man of integrity who served our country well and whom I am sure that "G-d" will reward with eternal peace. He was a
"mensch "
When I look to the sky tonight I will look for the bright light beaming down that will be his way of letting us know that he is happy that he had the opportunity to help us be better than we hoped we could be and that he can now rest comfortably in the "House of the Lord" for ever.
