Rabbi Rami talks with Sarah Hurwitz, author of the new book Here All Along: Finding Meaning, Spirituality, and a Deeper Connection to Life in Judaism (After Finally Choosing to Look There). 

Hurwitz is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School. From 2009 to 2017, she worked in the White House, serving as head speechwriter for First Lady Michelle Obama and as a senior speechwriter for President Barack Obama. Prior to working in government, Hurwitz was the chief speechwriter for Hillary Clinton on her 2008 campaign for president and a speechwriter for Senator John Kerry and General Wesley Clark during the 2004 presidential election.

Her book explores what being Jewish means to her, and how she was energized by diving deeper into its many facets after reconnecting with her faith in her late 30s. In the book, she shares what she learned about “the wisdom and beauty and meaning Judaism offers.”
