Since launching TischPDX, the program has created ripple effects outside of the Portland area. After beginning the first TischPDX cohort, Rabbi Ariel Stone was invited to serve as a Rabbinic mentor of the Clergy Leadership Incubator based in New York City.
In 2020, TischPDX was invited to join Upstart’s 2020 National Entrepreneurial Sprint Cohort. Read more about it here.
In 2019, TischPDX was invited to attend the Kenissa Network Annual Gathering. Kenissa is a national Jewish organization led by Rabbi Sid Schwarz that connects individuals from around the US who are leading contemporary efforts to re-imagine Jewish life and community. TischPDX was asked to present at the conference.
Co-founder Eleyna Fugman has also been invited to join The Conversation: Jewish in America, sponsored by the Jewish Week. This national gathering brings together 55 American Jews yearly who are leaders or potential leaders in their respective fields to talk about the future of Jewish life in this country and what it means to be Jewish in the 21st century.
