In Part Two of our interview with Sarah Hurwitz, we dive deeper into the big questions raised in Here All Along. Drawing on her experiences in both politics and faith, Sarah reflects on the role of ritual, the meaning of community, and how spiritual practices can ground us in an unsteady world.

In this episode, we discuss:

How Jewish rituals and practices can bring balance to modern life.
The challenge and beauty of faith communities today.
Lessons from her time working with President Obama’s speechwriting team and Michelle Obama.
How wisdom traditions can help us wrestle with meaning, identity, and purpose.
