Tagged in: news , Innovation

There's a lot happening this summer in the arena of Jewish social entrepreneurship and new leadership development. In case you missed any of it, here's a quick roundup of new developments: 

 ROI120 has changed its name and URL because its reach has now exceeded 120 Jewish innovators! Young Jewish leaders from 29 different countries are currently convening in Israel for its Fourth Annual Summit to immerse themselves in new ideas and inspire one another. Follow the Summit and ROI happenings at www.ROICommunity.org.

Also covering the ROI Summit and social entrepreneurial news are Esther Kustanowitz at www.estherkustanowitz.typepad.com and Dan Brown at www.eJewishPhilanthy.com.

PresenTense Institute's bootcamp is currently also underway in Jerusalem. (Don't you wish you were there? Some of you are!) This year's Fellows of the Institute are training for a rigorous six weeks in starting up social ventures. To see the Fellows who are working on their initiatives this year and for more information on the program, visit http://presentense.org/institute/2009. You can also check out what previous cohorts of Fellows have done and the status of some of their projects.

And if you missed the great report produced by Natan, Jumpstart and Samuel Bronfman Foundation on "The Innovation Ecosystem: Emergence of a New Jewish Landscape," you can read the report at http://www.jewishjumpstart.org/survey/.
