What happens when a top political speechwriter rediscovers her Jewish roots—not in a moment of crisis, but through curiosity, study, and deep personal reflection? In Here All Along, Sarah Hurwitz—former speechwriter for Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, and President Barack Obama—shares her journey back to Judaism after years of disengagement. 

After stumbling into a beginner’s class on a whim, Hurwitz was struck by the depth and relevance of Jewish wisdom—on everything from prayer and ritual to justice, ethics, and the nature of God. What began as casual interest became a transformative exploration, raising powerful questions about identity, purpose, and belonging. 

As we prepare for the High Holidays, a season of reflection and renewal, we’ll gather over four sessions to explore Hurwitz’s insights and discover how Judaism’s ancient traditions can speak to our modern lives. Whether you're reconnecting with Judaism or deepening a lifelong relationship, this is a journey worth taking—together. Please sign up for either the virtual option which will take place from 6:00pm-7:00pm or the in-person option from 7:30pm-9:00pm
