"Adam Schiff, the Jewish Democrat who came to national prominence as the lead prosecutor in Donald Trump’s first impeachment, was sworn in as a U.S. senator on Monday [December 9, 2024] after his election in November. He succeeded Laphonza Butler, who was appointed to the Senate following the death of longtime Sen. Dianne Feinstein last year. Schiff, 64, took the oath of office holding a Maimonides Mishneh Torah (Second Torah) printed in Italy in 1490. The selection of this text – a 14-volume code of Jewish law and practice written by Moses Maimonides, also known as the Rambam – sparked debate over its halachic permissibility for swearing an oath, as it is not the official Hebrew Bible." (Forward, December 9, 2024; photo by CSPAN as appeared in the Forward.) On December 9th, former Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) was sworn into the US Senate (in the presence of his wife Eve) by Vice President Kamala Harris. This Mishneh Torah is held in the Hebraic Section at the Library of Congress- Owner
