About the Event
Please join us for a conversation on the new book by Sarah Hurwitz " Here All Along: Finding Meaning, Spirituality, and a Deeper Connection to Life -- in Judaism (After Finally Choosing to Look There)." Sarah Hurwitz was a White House speechwriter from 2009 to 2017, starting out as a senior speechwriter for President Barack Obama and then serving as chief speechwriter for First Lady Michelle Obama. Sarah worked with Mrs. Obama to craft widely-acclaimed addresses – including her 2016 Democratic National Convention speech and her political speeches during the 2016 campaign cycle – and traveled with the First Lady across America and to five continents. Sarah also worked on policy issues affecting young women and girls as a senior advisor to the White House Council on Women and Girls. Before working at the White House, Sarah was chief speechwriter for Hillary Clinton during her 2008 presidential primary campaign.
After breaking up with her boyfriend she attends an introductory class on Judaism and unexpectedly finds wisdom and depth. This prompted her journey to discovering more about the religion she was born into but had little knowledge of.
