Business Event for Career-Minded Men and Women
You’ve completed years of organized study, be it yeshiva, seminary or university, and now you’re considering a leap into the business world to bring in some cash. You have two basic choices— work for others or work for yourself. Which, or perhaps how, do you choose?
Many of us have great ideas— ideas that could either fly or fail. How do you know whether your idea will succeed? How do you know if you have the tools required to gain momentum and stay ahead in your chosen field?
Whether you decide to join Corporate America or start your own business, learning from others who have tried and failed or tried and succeeded is quintessential to your success. Look around; there are so many people to learn from in your own community. Having a hard time reaching them? Well, Crown Heights Young Entrepreneurs, a project started by Rabbi Yehoshua Werde of Torah Learning Project, invites you to:
“Manage It—An Evening of Education and Empowerment.”
On Wednesday evening at the Jewish Children’s Museum, a panel of four business leaders who have started their own businesses will share insights leading to wins, and realities of setbacks with the young business-minded men and women of Crown Heights. Success doesn’t happen overnight. It takes hard work and perseverance. In addition to acquiring the necessary skills—since it’s not just what you know but who you know and who knows you—you’ll have the opportunity to meet individuals who can point you in the right direction, for you to realize your goals.
This is a chance to discover what it takes to succeed.
please be carefull
the orgenizers are doing phenominal work. i hope they realise their responsability.
making the event for both men and women is a breach, as there will certainly be questiond=s from both crowds.
this will only add to the stigma that it is only the ‘not chassidish’ people in the community that work.
its up to you to set things straight.you could prove to the world that doing business, dosent lower any standards.
please, for my kids.

To Number 1 and Number 2
If you are ‘afraid’ for Tznius – you shoulb be. This event is not for you and I highly suggest that you should not go.
As an Entrepeneur and someone in the business world – I have to deal with lots of Tznius Challenges on a daily basis. I don’t always succeed but I never the less do my best. (one example is shaking women’s hands, or being alone with a woman in a meeting).
To number two – if you have issues with asking questions in front of men – stay at home – fact is, there are more men as managers and CEOs than women – so it will never be comfortable.
My best advice that I can give is the one that was given to me… talk to your mashpia and use common sense and proper judgement. Know your limits and set up boundaries. The rest will come with God’s help.
Best of luck to all… and greatest of luck to the organizers – you guys are great and I love you. Keep up the great work.
