More About the Event on December 2:

After a decade as a political speechwriter, Sarah Hurwitz decided to apply her skills as a communicator to writing a book about Judaism. And no one is more surprised than she is.

Hurwitz was the quintessential lapsed Jew—until, at age thirty-six, she happened upon an advertisement for an introductory class on Judaism. She attended on a whim, but was blown away by what she found. She wondered: How could there be such a gap between the richness of what Judaism offers and the way so many Jews like her understand and experience it?
