The first viable Jewish candidate for vice president of the United States is to write a book about the religion.
Senator Joe Lieberman, who narrowly lost out on the White House when he and his running-mate Al Gore were beaten by George W Bush in the 2000 presidential election, is working on a book about Shabbat.
Mr Lieberman, who is observant, announced he would not stand for re-election in Connecticut when his term expires next year.
Instead, he will focus on writing, with David Klinghoffer, “Gift of Rest”, a contemplation of his Jewish faith.
