    As a Jew: Reclaiming Our Story From Those Who Blame, Shame, and Try to Erase Us
    Tuesday, Nov 18th 7:00p to 8:15p
    Featuring Sarah Hurwitz At thirty-six, Sarah Hurwitz was a typical lapsed Jew. On a whim, she attended an introduction to Judaism class and was astonished by what she discovered: thousands of years of wisdom from her ancestors about what it means to be human. That class sparked a journey of discovery that transformed her life. Years later, as Hurwitz wrestled with what it means to be Jewish at a time of rising antisemitism, she wondered: Where had the Judaism she discovered as an adult been all her life? With antisemitism raging worldwide, Hurwitz shares her journey of reclaiming the Jewish story and learning to live as a Jew, without apology, which has never been timelier or more necessary. This is an urgent exploration of how antisemitism has shaped Jewish identity and how Jews can reclaim their tradition. [photo] 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. Before working at the White House, Hurwitz was chief speechwriter for Hillary Clinton during her 2008 presidential primary campaign. Hurwitz has been profiled in The Washington Post, People.com, The Boston Globe, and The Guardian; interviewed on The Today Show, Morning Joe, Amanpour & Co., and NPR; and featured in The Forward as one of 50 Jews who impacted American life in 2016 and 2019. Sarah is also the author of Here All Along: Finding Meaning, Spirituality, and a Deeper Connection to Life -- in Judaism (After Finally Choosing to Look There), which was a finalist for two National Jewish Book Awards and for the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature.
