Schedule of Events

7:00pm - Centered: Joe Lieberman at Mandell JCC

Reel Talk: Dan Papermaster in conversation with Matthew Lieberman.

Joe Lieberman nearly became the first Jewish Vice President of the United States. He was a politician who put principles above party, and the Founding Chairman of No Labels, an organization whose quest was to find a bipartisan ticket for the 2024 presidential election. In pursuit of his beliefs, Joe Lieberman sacrificed his popularity for what he believed was in the best interest of the American people. Centered chronicles Lieberman's remarkable journey and more than 40 years of public service, providing invaluable insights into this iconoclastic politician.
