Join us for an unforgettable evening with Sarah Hurwitz, former White House speechwriter and author of As a Jew, as part of our Soulful Speaker Series.
In this powerful conversation, Sarah will explore the myths and narratives that have shaped Jewish identity—both from outside and within—and how we can begin to reclaim the stories that truly reflect who we are. Drawing from her deeply personal and widely resonant book, As a Jew, Sarah invites us to reflect on the inherited messages we’ve internalized and the beauty and strength waiting to be rediscovered in Jewish tradition.
This event is especially for those who’ve ever felt “too Jewish,” “not Jewish enough,” or unsure where they belong. With warmth, wit, and wisdom, Sarah offers a soulful roadmap for reconnecting with Jewish identity in a way that feels grounded, joyful, and deeply empowering.
Registration for this event includes Sarah’s newest book, As a Jew. Please join us after the talk for light desserts and conversation!
