Give a virtual talk during COVID! Or listen to other people’s.

You can reach out to FED Social, a Jewish-oriented community social network that maintains the online series FEDBytes. FEDSocial is run by an old college friend and was recently selected for the UpStart Accelerator. Apply to speak here and let me know what happens. You might also want to hear my talk at one of the first FEDBytes events.

FED (www.fedsocial.co) presents motivational and entertaining stories, ideas, and art from the rich spectrum of people across the world and right here in New York City. Speakers and performers interact directly with the participants, who are encouraged to immerse themselves in a community animated by hospitality, openness, and dialogue. FED restores our human capacity for empathy by allowing people to learn from others’ stories and discover new ideas. FED provides a platform for Jewish creativity where those from a variety of backgrounds feel welcome and included. Creativity with the tradition and how it can inspire reflection, help us find and realize a sense of purpose, and be our best selves is what Judaism (and FED) is all about.

Generally, the focal point of a FED event is a dinner party. These days, FED is going virtual, with a podcast called FEDBytes designed to allow you to get to know your virtual neighbour, humorous holiday skits, and a virtual Passover Seder.
