“Beautifully written and brilliantly argued, As a Jew is that rare book that defines an historical moment. The American Jewish awakening is upon us, and Sarah Hurwitz is its prophet.”
- Yossi Klein Halevi, senior fellow, Shalom Hartman Institute, author of New York Times bestseller Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor

Meet Sarah
After serving as head speechwriter for First Lady Michelle Obama, a senior speechwriter for President Barack Obama, and chief speechwriter for Hillary Clinton on her 2008 presidential campaign, Sarah Hurwitz decided to apply her skills as a communicator to writing books... about Judaism.
And no one is more surprised than she is.

BOOKS
What does it mean to be a Jew today?
Why does Judaism matter and what does it have to say to us – all of us, Jews and non-Jews alike – today? What’s with the rise of antisemitism, and how has it shaped Jewish identity? With a voice that’s both deeply substantive and delightfully engaging, Sarah explores Jewish wisdom, history, and practice, inspiring Jews to become more proudly and joyfully Jewish and helping others understand and appreciate Jewish tradition.
