I am a political speechwriter – one who had the good fortune to stumble back to Judaism later in life and discover that this tradition is filled with wisdom about how to be a good person, live a meaningful life, and find deep spiritual connection. Thousands of years of insight about what it means to be human had been here all along, just waiting to be discovered.

In this sourcesheet, I’m bringing together two of my passions – Judaism and speechwriting – to show how Jewish texts shed light on the issues we confront every day, both in our daily lives, and on a much broader scale.
