Finding Our Way Home
A Conversation with Bestselling Author Sarah Hurwitz
In a time of rising antisemitism, difficult conversations about Israel, and growing uncertainty about what it means to be Jewish today, many of us are asking not only how to respond to the world around us, but how to deepen our own Jewish lives. How do we reclaim the joy, wisdom, and sense of belonging that have sustained the Jewish people for generations? What kind of Jewish life do we hope to build for ourselves—and for our children?
Former head speechwriter for First Lady Michelle Obama and bestselling author of Here All Along and As a Jew, Sarah Hurwitz brings warmth, humor, and remarkable honesty to these questions. Drawing on her own unexpected journey back to Judaism, she explores how Jewish wisdom can help us navigate modern life, strengthen our relationships, cultivate resilience, and discover a richer, more meaningful Jewish identity.
Whether you are raising young children, launching teens into adulthood, entering a new chapter, or simply searching for greater purpose, this conversation will leave you inspired to rediscover the depth, beauty, and enduring wisdom of Jewish tradition.
