For nearly 15 years, Sarah Hurwitz built a career finding just the right words. She served as a White House speechwriter from 2009 to 2017, first as a senior speechwriter for President Barack Obama and then as head speechwriter for First Lady Michelle Obama. Sarah worked with Mrs. Obama to craft widely acclaimed addresses and traveled with her across America and to five continents.
Prior to working in the White House, Sarah was in the thick of political campaigns – serving as the chief speechwriter for Hillary Clinton on her 2008 presidential campaign and deputy chief speechwriter for Senator John Kerry in 2004 and General Wesley Clark in 2003.
As a Jew: Reclaiming Our Story from Those Who Blame, Shame, and Try to Erase Us is a New York Times bestseller and winner of a National Jewish Book Award and the Natan Notable Book Award. It is an urgent exploration of how antisemitism has shaped Jewish identity and how Jews can reclaim their tradition.
Books will be available for purchase at the event, and Sarah Hurwitz will be signing copies.
