Join us for Here All Along: Finding Meaning, Spirituality, and a Deeper Connection to Life —In Judaism (After Finally Choosing to Look There)—the second in our series, Modern Jewish Voices: Community + Conversation!
“After a decade as a political speechwriter—for First Lady Michelle Obama, President Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton—Sarah Hurwitz decided to apply her skills as a communicator to writing a book…about Judaism….Hurwitz was the quintessential lapsed Jew—until, at age 36, after a tough breakup, she happened upon an advertisement for an introductory class on Judaism….That class led to a years-long journey…[of learning]. What she found transformed her life, and she wondered: How could there be such a gap between the richness of what Judaism offers and the way so many Jews like her understand and experience it?…In this entertaining and accessible book, she shows us why Judaism matters and how its message is more relevant than ever, and she inspires Jews to do the learning, questioning, and debating required to make this religion their own.”
