宾夕法尼亚州州长乔希·夏皮罗表示，回到他从小就参加礼拜的费城郊区埃尔金斯公园的长期会众——贝瑟尔犹太教堂（Beth Sholom Synagogue），对他而言意义非凡。他从小就和父母一起来这里做礼拜。他的父亲是一名儿科医生，母亲是一名教师兼社会活动家，他们激励他走上了服务他人的人生道路。
但我们了解到，他母亲的心理健康问题可能对夏皮罗产生了最大影响。“有时候，家里的气氛会突然变得紧张，会有很多争吵、混乱和动荡，”他说，“你只想躲进自己的房间，试图逃避这一切。”
在他的新回忆录《Where We Keep the Light: Stories from a Life of Service》（将于周二由哈珀柯林斯出版）中，这位52岁的州长详细讲述了自己的童年和数十年的职业生涯。
夏皮罗在书中写道，他有一个幸福的童年，但家庭生活也曾有过不愉快的时刻——这些经历他从未公开谈论过。“我想分享这些，部分原因是我知道还有很多其他家庭也在经历类似的事情，”他说，“但也有一部分原因是，我想让我妈妈知道，尽管我们的童年有时很艰难，尽管我能想象她经历的艰难，但她确实指引我走上了服务他人的道路，我希望她能在其中看到自己的影子，并为此感到自豪。”
艰难的对话
回忆录开篇详细讲述了2025年4月州长官邸遭遇纵火袭击的个人经历，当时夏皮罗和家人正在楼上睡觉，就在他们参加逾越节家宴后的几个小时内。
他的儿子鲁本问，是不是有人因为他们是犹太人而试图杀害他们全家。
夏皮罗说，那场对话非常艰难：“我们必须和孩子们进行一些坦诚而艰难的对话，告诉他们政治暴力的本质是什么，以及它可能如何针对某个人，但基于特定特征（在这种情况下，可能是我们的信仰）影响更广泛的人群。作为父母，当你知道在这个行业里，你不能总是保证孩子的安全时，和他们进行这样的对话是很困难的。
“我每天真正希望的是，孩子们不再需要担心这种事情——不仅仅是我的孩子，而是所有人都不再担心因为自己的信仰、投票立场、祈祷方式或所爱之人而遭受暴力袭击，”他说。
纵火袭击发生在唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在夏皮罗所在的州竞选总统后不到一年，特朗普当时险些遇刺。我问他，政治暴力是否改变了他的工作方式。
“我认为自巴特勒（注：此处可能指历史事件或人物，原文未明确）以来，这个国家的政治暴力已经恶化了，”夏皮罗回答，“我认为只有当所有政客、所有人都毫无例外地谴责政治暴力，无论目标是谁，无论实施者是谁，这种暴力才会有所改善。我不在乎你是左翼意识形态还是右翼意识形态，我们应该很容易就能说这一切都是错误的。”
新一代民主党人
今年，夏皮罗正在进行连任竞选，但他也被视为2028年民主党总统候选人的热门人选。
我们问他，民主党今天是否有一套明确的理想。“我认为民主党有很多明确的理想和美好的价值观，”夏皮罗说，“否则我就不会是这个党的成员了。”
“他们是否以一种能赢得选举的方式在全国范围内表达这些理想？”我问道。
“是的，”夏皮罗说，“我认为人们希望每天都能有一个人站出来，成为唐纳德·特朗普的替代者，或者成为民主党的代表。但现在显然还没有这样的人。不过这没关系，因为有很多优秀的民主党人，他们是州长、市长、国会议员，每天都在做着出色的工作。我认为他们的工作正在帮助塑造和定义新一代的民主党人。”
目前，夏皮罗正密切关注明尼阿波利斯发生的总统移民打击行动。
“总统声称这一切都是为了安全，”夏皮罗说，“我认为总统试图展示自己的主导地位， dictate行为。无论我们谈论的是明尼阿波利斯、格陵兰还是委内瑞拉，这位总统都想展示他所谓的‘力量’，但我认为这只是一种表面的力量，最终只会让人们的处境更糟，更不安全。”
夏皮罗不愿透露自己是否最终会竞选总统。“我可以绝对肯定地告诉你：我希望参与这场对话，帮助我们塑造一个能够帮助人们获得优质教育、创造更安全社区的政党。我希望帮助建设一个将我们视为世界秩序一部分、而非孤军奋战的民主党。是的，我想参与塑造这场对话。从我们的对话中，会有人脱颖而出，最终想要领导这个政党。这是未来另一天需要讨论的话题。”

A conversation with Josh Shapiro on a life of service and faith
January 25, 2026 / 10:02 AM EST / CBS News
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro says it’s special to visit his longtime congregation, Beth Sholom Synagogue, in the Philadelphia suburb of Elkins Park, which he’s attended since he was young. He grew up coming here with his parents. His father, a pediatrician, and his mother, a teacher and activist, inspired him into a life of service.
But we learned it was also his mom’s struggles with mental health that may have had the most impact on Shapiro. “There were moments where a switch could be flipped, and there’d be a lot of yelling and a lot of chaos and a lot of tumult in the house,” he said. “And you would just want to retreat to your room and try and escape it all.”

In his new memoir, “Where We Keep the Light: Stories from a Life of Service” (to be published Tuesday by HarperCollins), the 52-year-old governor details his childhood and his decades-long career.
Shapiro writes that he had a happy childhood, and at points an unhappy childhood home – something he’s never spoken about publicly. “I wanted to share that, in part, because I know there’s a lot of other families out there that go through this kind of stuff,” he said. “But in part, I want my mom to know that for as difficult as our childhood was at times, for as difficult as I imagine hers was, you know, she really set me on this path of service in a way that, you know, I hope she sees some of herself in, and I hope she takes pride in.”
Hard conversations
The memoir begins with a deeply personal recounting of the arson attack on the governor’s official residence in April 2025, while Shapiro and his family slept upstairs, hours after conducting a Passover seder.
His son, Ruben, asked if someone tried to kill their family because they were Jewish.
Shapiro said that conversation was really hard: “We had to have some honest, tough conversations with our kids about what political violence is all about, and how it’s designed to maybe target one person, but affect a broader swath of people based on a particular characteristic, perhaps in this case, our faith. And look, it’s a hard thing for a parent to have that kind of conversation with their kids when they know in this business, they can’t necessarily guarantee that level of safety.
“What I really hope for every day is that kids stop having to worry about that — not just my kids, but all people have to stop worrying that violence is gonna come to their community because of something they believe, or who they voted for, how they pray, who they love,” he said.

The arson attack occurred less than a year after Donald Trump, campaigning for president in Shapiro’s state, had nearly been assassinated. I asked if political violence has changed how he carries out his work.
“I think political violence has gotten worse in this country since Butler,” Shapiro replied. “And I think it is only gonna get better when all politicians, all people condemn it universally, no matter who’s the target of it, and no matter who carries it out. I don’t care if you’re a left-wing ideology, right-wing ideology; it should not be hard for us to say that it is all wrong.”
A new generation of the Democratic Party
This year, Shapiro is in the middle of a re-election campaign, but he’s also considered a top contender to represent the Democratic Party in 2028.
We asked if the Democratic Party today has a clear set of ideals. “I think the Democratic Party has a lot of clear ideals and wonderful values,” Shapiro said. “Otherwise I wouldn’t be a member of this party.”
“Are they articulating in a way, in a national message, that will win elections?” I asked.
“Yeah. I think folks are hoping that there will be one person every day, who’s gonna go out and be the alternative to Donald Trump, or be the voice of the Democratic Party. And that one person certainly does not exist right now,” Shapiro said. “And that’s okay, because there are wonderful Democrats who are governors, who are mayors, who are members of Congress, who are doing really good work every single day. And that work they’re doing, I think, is helping shape and define the new generation of the Democratic Party.”
Right now, Shapiro is watching closely what’s happening in Minneapolis with the president’s immigration crackdown.
“The President claims it’s all about safety,” Shapiro said, adding, “I think what the president’s trying to do is show that he can be the dominant figure, that he can dictate behavior. Whether we’re talking about Minneapolis or Greenland or Venezuela, this president wants to try and show what he believes to be strength that I think is a facade of strength and ultimately a veneer of strength. And ultimately what he’s doing is making people worse off, less safe.”
What Governor Shapiro won’t say is whether he will ultimately run for president himself. “Here’s what I can tell you with absolute certainty: I want to be a part of the dialog that helps shape us going forward into a party that can be one that helps people get a great education, that creates safer communities. I want to help build a Democratic Party that sees us as part of a world order, not going it alone. So yeah, I wanna be a part of shaping that dialog. And then ultimately from that dialogue that we have, there will be people who emerge, who ultimately want to lead that party. And that’s a conversation for another day down the road.”
