Getting to Exceptional. (ft. Gary Forman. | Freelance Creative Director and Speechwriter)
TITLE:Getting to Exceptional. (ft. Gary Forman. | Freelance Creative Director and Speechwriter)OPENING QUOTE:“I have to say because it’s one of the more interesting things I found in this work.

The Vibe of the Tribe
Episode 92: President Obama’s Former Speechwriter on Judaism, Faith and COVID-19
If modern Judaism had an opening for a speechwriter, The Vibe of the Tribe would enthusiastically recommend Sarah Hurwitz. A senior speechwriter for President Barack Obama and head speechwriter for First Lady Michelle Obama, her recently published book, “Here All Along: Finding Meaning, Spirituality, and a Deeper Connection to Life – in Judaism (After Finally Choosing to Look There),” is arguably the best work on Judaism in recent memory. In 300 highly engaging pages, Hurwitz gives us a thorough look at Jewish tradition, prayer, ritual and even notions of the Divine, all while revealing what reconnecting with Judaism has meant to her. In our...
