"Sarah Hurwitz was Michelle Obama's head speechwriter, and with this book she becomes Judaism's speechwriter. In a time when many people have lost faith, her timeless wisdom and graceful writing will delight even the most steadfast skeptics of organized religion." Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take, Originals, and Option B "Searching for meaning in the ancient scripture and traditions of Judaism, Sarah Hurwitz takes us along on an enriching journey of discovery. In Here All Along, she explores her birthright as a Jew and finds timeless and valuable lessons for life." David Axelrod, Former Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama "Here All Along is exactly the introduction to Judaism that smart, thoughtful readers need: not a 'How-To' guide to this incredibly rich and relevant tradition, but a 'Why-To' guide that illuminates -- boldly, bravely, and beautifully -- why Judaism matters and how its wisdom can transform us. It's been here all along, but now it's here in the book in your hands, waiting for you. Open it, and discover what you've been missing." Dara Horn, author of Eternal Life "What an achievement -- to have found a way to make every aspect of Judaism utterly accessible, digestible, and emotional all at once, in one riveting volume. This is an uncanny primer for anyone wanting to understand Judaism and also a revealing portrait of one famous speechwriter who couldn't believe what she'd been missing all along." Abigail Pogrebin, author of My Jewish Year: 18 Holidays, One Wondering Jew "Repeatedly drawing on her life experiences, Sarah Hurwitz paints a vision of a Judaism that is wise, intellectually rigorous, experiential, and very accessible -- and, quite frankly, exciting. Even when I disagree with her, she invites me into her world. This is a book we have been waiting for, and Hurwitz is an important new voice on the Jewish scene." Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, author of Words That Hurt, Words that Heal and Jewish Literacy
