As a kid, who didn’t want to rocket into space like an astronaut?
Most kids grow up never making it to take-off. Others launch their big ideas instead, and on Wednesday, May 22nd, our community’s visionaries will do just that at our first-ever PresenTenseLA Launch Night—and you’re invited!
This free interactive evening is a celebration of Jewish innovation in Los Angeles, brought to us by The Jewish Federation’s social entrepreneur fellowship, PresenTenseLA. To RSVP, or for more information, click here .
Come experience the future as 12 extraordinary fellows present 12 extraordinary ventures that will shape our community, Los Angeles and the world for years to come. You’ll also have a chance to network with like-minded creative thinkers and share your thoughts with the fellows themselves as you get to know more about their great ideas. From a leadership program for Iranian-American Jews to a program merging Judaism and yoga, these ventures are redefining what it means to be Jewish in Los Angeles.
At PresenTenseLA’s Launch Night, everyone is welcome—the critics, the commentators, the observers, the donors, the professionals, the participants, and even the passers-by. We all have a role to play in the Jewish future—so come find out yours!
