Thank you for this piece, Toby, Shawn, and Martin! Now more than ever our community needs creativity, collaboration, and flexibility. Start-ups and other entrepreneurial endeavors often bring these attributes, plus vision, energy, and excitement. With a small portion of the resources larger organizations need, we can offer enormous "bang for the buck." We also strengthen our community by connecting with many people who might otherwise may never find a way to explore Jewish choices. I've been amazed and touched to see Jews, their family members, and seekers who have longed to connect with Jewish life finally able to do so because of the innovative organizations that speak to their needs. Let's not leave these folks behind. We need them to enrich our Jewish future! Rabbi Bridget Wynne Jewish Gateways (start-up and member of UpStart Bay Area)
