A Conversation with Author Sarah Hurwitz on Meaning, Belonging, and Hope In an age of rising antisemitism and difficult conversations about Israel, many of us are asking not only how to defend our Jewish identity—but how to deepen it.

What kind of Jewish life do we hope to build for ourselves and for our children?Former Michelle Obama speechwriter and bestselling author Sarah Hurwitz brings warmth, humor, and remarkable honesty to these questions. Drawing on her acclaimed books, Here All Along and As a Jew, she explores how Jewish wisdom can help us navigate modern life, strengthen our relationships, and discover a richer, more joyful Jewish identity.Whether you are raising young children, launching teens into adulthood, entering a new chapter, or simply searching for greater meaning, this conversation will leave you thinking, smiling, and inspired.
