Hey Yiddle Diddle Productions President and Founder Chari Pere is currently one of 16 fellows at the PresenTense Institute for Creative Zionism, an incubator for young social entrepreneurs with big ideas on how to impact the Jewish community and the world. A lot of great publicity has been happening, so here’s a recap:

A Yearly Shpritz of Jewish Bits was featured front page in the second section of the Jerusalem Post, Israel’s largest English newspaper. The article, “A Zionist Kick in the Pants”, focused on the PresenTense Institute founders and fellows, but also included one of the comic strips from the calendar large and in full color. Please check out the online article here, which includes a picture of the whole PresenTense ‘08 group.

The comic strip is scanned in and included here:
