Welcome back to Just For This. Each week, host Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch (she/her) interviews women in leadership about women and leadership. Inspired by the story of Esther, we feature powerful stories of women who stand out in their fields, who have stepped up just for this moment.

Our guest this week is former Obama White House speechwriter and author Sarah Hurwitz. Her new book, "As A Jew," is now available for purchase.

We discuss how Jewish history shapes our present moment and the power of owning our tradition and our legacy.
