JAMIE FELDMAN

This spring, Temple Israel and The Well welcomed guest speaker Sarah
Hurwitz, who recently completed eight years in the White House as chief
speechwriter for First Lady Michelle Obama. Hurwitz also served as a
speechwriter for President Barack Obama, and as chief speechwriter for
Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign.
An enthusiastic, intergenerational crowd gathered to hear Hurwitz offer
reflections on her time in the Obama administration, practical tips on
speechwriting and forging a career in government and, more personally,
speaking about the power and guidance of Jewish tradition in creating a
just society.
Jewish stories, Hurwitz argued, remind Jews what it’s like to be at the
mercy of others, which, in turn, commands the creation of a society that
is nothing like biblical Egypt. Hurwitz saw this in action while working
within the Obama administration and was an integral part of convey-
ing messages of human dignity and integrity to the world through the
speeches she crafted. •
