the oath of office to all the representatives in attendance. They were joined by Boston Mayor Martin Walsh, and U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey. The swearing-in included a powerful benediction by Rabbi Barbara Penzner where she included a passage from the Prophet Micah and encouraged lawmakers to “do justice, love compassionately, and walk humbly
with God.”
