PHOTOS: By: L. Halevi. Parnassah Network held its “Launch Your Business” seminar this past Tuesday in the Clarion Hotel & Conference Center in Toms River, NJ.
The seminar, the first in a series of intensive seminars that is being planned to assist Yidden in their quest for meaningful Parnassah, was attended by a sold-out group of serious-minded entrepreneurs, men and women from near and far, including participants from Lakewood, Deal, Boro Park, Far Rockaway and Cleveland. They each came with one goal in mind: Getting relevant and down-to-earth tools to succeed in launching a business of their own and monetizing on their various skills and ideas.
The full day seminar started with a hearty breakfast and went all the way through 5:30 pm and included an hour for lunch and general networking. The electricity in the air, as participants got to know each other, formed business relationships and soaked up the treasure-trove of knowledge and experience that was imparted by the presenters, was remarkable and memorable.
Each and every participant spent the day hearing new ideas and tips, learning from mistakes and experiences of others and interactively engaging with the presenters and each other on scores of relevant topics they will need in the “real world” as they embark on their own journey into business ownership. Their choice of businesses to launch differed- construction, real estate, manufacturing, food service, health and fitness and other areas of interest- but they were all united in their dream of launching a business of their own.
The presenters – Lakewood attorney, Mr. Noach Burton, Esq., Co-founder of Jivetel, Mr. Israel Fleischer, renowned business consultant, Mr. Allan Glazer, Director of Operations of 4-Corners Bagel and Cafe, Mr. David Rosen and president of J Builders of NY, Mr. Shea Rubenstein, have all “been there, done that” in their own journeys to successfully start their own businesses, and their willingness to mentor participants of the seminar – both at the event and via phone or email beyond the event- is in the words of one of the participants “the most invaluable ‘take away’ I have ever experienced at any seminar, speech or workshop!” The seminar presenters were hand-picked for this precise reason: to not simply give a speech and go home; rather to be approachable, available and willing to help their fellow yidden find a way to the ultimate success in Parnassah for which they strive and yearn.
It was a one-of-a-kind event, which really made a difference in the attitudes and lives of the participants. The Parnassah Network, founded by R’ Duvi Honig and deftly managed by Mrs. Devorah Wahl, is planning many such intensive, focused seminars in various locations and for various focused topics. Stay tuned for details.

pictures don’t look sold out to me. Can we please start vetting articles before they are posted?
Maybe we should start vetting comments before they are posted.
You comment sounds sold out to me. This was an event specifically for the people who made advance reservations. Not for any person to roll in.
Sorry if it does not look packed, actually its more comfortable that way. It was meant for a small crowd not a large one.
Your cynicism is perfect for the nine days. Do you have anything else smart to say?
To #1 – Actually I think they advertised only 30 ppl allowed and need to register.
(Actually a great idea in my opinion! – makes it easier to learn and meet ppl)
I even spoke to someone that said they turned him down cuz they were full and that he can sign up to the next one.
Check the facts before you post.
All the best.
I was there and it was excellent
My husband attended, all the way from New York, and said it was the best use of a day in a very long time. It was really useful, informative, on-the-mark and well run.
At end of day pictures showed maybe 20 men and women besides staff and speakers so it wasn’t sold out . Don’t write in article it was sold out if it wasn’t that’s all I said. I never said it was a stupid idea or waste of time etc
It was sold out because they only allowed a certain amount of people and that is how many people came. When you have a limited amount and that sells out, its sold out.
At the end of the day it was sold out. Don’t write a comment that it was not sold out if it really was, that is all I said.
Maybe they can post the videos?
