Slotkin, a former congresswoman who narrowly won her election in November, took the oath of office on a copy of “The Torah: A Women’s Commentary,” published in 2008 by the Reform movement of Judaism.
Women of Reform Judaism, the movement’s women’s organization, celebrated Slotkin’s choice on social media, noting that the book was the first full Torah commentary to feature only contributions from women.
