Jewish Federation 2021 Annual Meeting Featuring Author Sarah Hurwitz

The Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte looks forward to hosting its 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting on Monday, May 10 at 7 p.m. In addition to updating the community on Federation’s critical work over the past year and electing its 2021-2022 slate of officers and board of trustees, we are excited to welcome Sarah Hurwitz as our featured guest for the evening.

Sarah is well-known as a White House speechwriter for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. Sarah worked with Mrs. Obama to craft widely-acclaimed addresses and traveled with the first lady across America and to five continents, while also working on policy issues affecting young women and girls as a senior adviser to the White House Council on Women and Girls. During her final years in the White House, Sarah reconnected with Judaism, exploring the wisdom of Jewish law, the power of Jewish spirituality, and the lessons of Jewish history, all of which had a profound influence on her political career. In her book, “Here All Along: Finding Meaning, Spirituality, and a Deeper Connection to Life — in Judaism (After Finally Choosing to Look There),” Hurwitz shares her Jewish journey and rediscovery of Judaism’s timeless wisdom and spiritual connection through its age-old practices and traditions.

We look forward to having you join us for the 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting on May 10. Community members 18 years and older who contribute at least $36 to the Federation’s 2021 Annual Campaign are eligible to vote on the slate of officers and trustees.
