When I got back from ROI120, I found out that Edelman had been hired by OneVoice. When the OneVoice team went looking for someone at Edelman who knew something about the Jewish Blogosphere, all fingers pointed to me.
Like when I worked with The Jewish Museum, this was an opportunity for my personal and professional to collide and I really love it. So last night in Tel Aviv there was a blogger meet-up. Daniel Lubetzky, the founder of the movement, met with about a dozen of my favorite bloggers and some new to me bloggers in Israel . (Lisa, David, Idan, Jacob among them.) I'm still waiting to hear more from the office, but based on the posts from SavtaDotty and Lirun it was a great discussion.
Sadly, an evil confluence of the TLV Beer Festival and a Maccabi game
conspired to make traffic into Tel Aviv really, truly evil, and I only
arrived towards the end. But was surprised to see so many friends there
already. :)
Glad you were able to make it (even if just at the end) and sorry about the
traffic. Fingers crossed that I'll be there in October!
i benefited tremendously thank u
