In Spring 2018, five speakers selected from the Collaboratory Network–Gamal Palmer, Carine Warsawski, Rabbi Lori Shapiro, Dr. Sharon Weiss-Greenberg, and Arya Marvazy–worked with ELI Talks to hone and effectively present their own stories of risk-taking at a storytelling event for the May 2018 gathering. This event set a tone of vulnerability and connected a room full of Jewish innovators to the ways in which all of us live out the gathering’s theme of risk-taking in our personal and professional lives.
