This past week marked two events that got me thinking about PT and maximizing our human capital for the betterment of the community. 1) Brachie Sprung, our Fellowship coordinator, and I spoke to a post-college Israel group about digital tools 2) Our quarterly meeting, which brought together PT's staff in Israel, Boston and NY.

The post-college Israel group were enthusiastic and eager to get involved. We talked about the magazine, interning and heard some great ideas for fellows projects. They are about to enter the workforce or go on to grad school. We look forward to their involvement in the PT Network.

Hi!  My name is Elana Boehm and I am the Boston Coordinator for the CJP/PresenTense Boston Social Entrepreneur Fellowship.  This is my first post to the PresenTense blog and I am excited to add my voice to the impressive collection of global PresenTense staff and volunteers.

In my first blog post, I want to talk about our theory of Concentric Circles of Engagement.  Many people look at the Fellowship and are excited by the mechanism we're creating to support Jewish innovation in Boston, but question the level of impact we're having in the broader Boston community.  At the outset, it seems that we're spending a lot of time, talent, and treasure to engage and train twelve fellows.
