Limmud is a unique global movement that offers innovative and inclusive Jewish learning experiences for people of all ages and backgrounds. Founded in the UK in 1980, Limmud has since spread to multiple communities around the world, hosting events on a local, national, and international level.
Its mission is to enable and encourage everyone to take part in a Jewish conversation, regardless of affiliation or denomination. With over 3,000 volunteers involved every year, Limmud prides itself on being entirely volunteer-driven, with no paid staff members. This allows for a diverse range of voices and perspectives in programming, making Limmud a truly open platform for learning and discussion.
One popular type of event offered by Limmud is the annual conference. These multi-day events bring together thousands of participants for a jam-packed schedule of learning sessions, performances, and social activities. Each conference features a diverse lineup of presenters, including rabbis, scholars, artists, activists, and community leaders.
In addition to conferences, Limmud also organizes one-day events throughout the year. These regional gatherings offer a taste of the Limmud experience in a more condensed format. They often feature a mix of local and international presenters, covering topics ranging from Jewish history and texts to modern-day issues and challenges.
For those looking for ongoing learning opportunities, Limmud also offers online courses through its e-learning platform. These courses cover a wide range of topics and are accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
