SUMMARY:Sarah Hurwitz
DESCRIPTION:At thirty-six\, Sarah Hurwitz—former head speechwriter for First Lady Michelle Obama—attended an introduction to Judaism class on a whim and was astonished to discover thousands of years of wisdom about what it means to be human. Years later\, as she wrestled with what it means to be Jewish at a time of rising antisemitism\, she wondered where the beauty and depth of the Judaism she discovered as an adult had been all her life.  \nSeeking answers\, she went back through time to find how hateful myths about Jewish power\, depravity\, and conspiracy have shaped not just how others think about Jews\, but how Jews think about themselves. She realized that her Jewish identity was the result of thousands of years of antisemitism and two centuries of Jews erasing parts of themselves in the hope of being accepted and feeling safe.  \nIn As a Jew: Reclaiming Our Story from Those Who Blame\, Shame\, and Try to Erase Us\, Hurwitz—the author of Here All Along—documents her quest to take back her Jewish identity and unearth the treasures of Jewish tradition. She’ll be in conversation with Sixth & I’s Senior Rabbi\, Aaron Potek.  \nThank you to our promotional partners: Jewish Federation of Greater Washington\, the EDCJCC\, Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies\, GatherDC\, The Den Collective\, and Adas Israel Congregation  \nAll books will be pre-signed by the author. A book signing will follow the event for those who would like their book personalized.
