LIVE LIMMUD!
Limmud Conference is ready to rock and roll.
APPLY YOURSELVES
The application form is live for you and your friends to apply! On Monday or Tuesday next week we're going to tell everyone on the Limmud database by email; and a press release should ensure that the news is everywhere by next weekend.
www.limmud.org/conference/form.
It's pretty robust now, but if you do find any problems, don't be shy - tell me and I'll pass it on.
AT THE SAME TIME
the brochure has been printed and should start landing on doormats with a pleasant and satisfying whump early next week. Book your place, then position the brochure to be a conversation piece whenever friends or family visit.
THREE GOOD REASONS TO APPLY IMMEDIATELY
1. We've got a wide choice of accommodation options, but they'll fill up. First come, first served.
2. You'll get a discount. We all know we're going but too many volunteers end up paying the highest price because we don't register at the first opportunity (me included - but no more)!
3. You'll help to get the numbers up early and make financial planning smoother, helping us to squeeze in some extra presenters, tastier menus and even more Limmud feel to the site. That has to be worthwhile, no?
WHY IS IT SO COLD?
We've frozen prices for a second year. It's incredible that a week's accommodation, food, and a choice of 300 presenters and 900 sessions can be had for just £325 (and just £105 for YADs!).
CONFERENCE NEWS
- the list of presenters is growing and looking more exciting almost by the day. http://www.limmud.org/conference/programme/presenters07/
- Alicia and the rec team are on track to organise the first ever Conference fashion show
- I'm very excited to report that the editor of Ha'aretz (an Israeli newspaper) has agreed to send a couple of their correspondents as presenters. We haven't decided who'll be along yet - if you're a Ha'aretz junkie and have suggestions I'd love to hear them
BONZER MATE
David Hilton, Conference caterer extraordinaire for many years, has been appointed as a cantor and minister in Sydney, Australia. A huge mazaltov and all the best to him and Stephanie in their new life down under. David loves us so much that he's hoping to fly back to join us in Warwick this December.
Never heard David sing? Check out a snippet at www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NSV01l9sFg
ALBERT SQUARE TO TATE MODERN
We need someone to help organise the shuk - to deal with stallholders, to market it, to liaise with the team - generally to take charge of the whole thing and make it happen. If you're a good organiser and you fancy being a market boss, we'd love to hear from you. Email Gil Petersil on Gil79@hotmail.co.uk.
We also need someone to take charge of the art gallery; this is a similar role but has more of the flavour of 'curator' about it - ie, you'll need a black polo neck sweater and you won't have to shout. This time, email Alicia Zur Szpiro on aliciazs[at]gmail.com if you're interested.
TALK TO ME
One of the best things about chairing is hearing about what's going on (often in areas I didn't even realise existed) ... sometimes it's good news, others it's a grumble that I can do something about (yes, things do fall between the cracks). Feel free to email at any time ...
CONFERENCE DIARY
4 November - large volunteers event in the build-up to Conference
21-22 December - Conference Shabbat
23-27 December - Conference
VOLUNTEER DIARY
12 August - Go Ape - high wire forest adventure course - bring friends

Two very different events. Contact Charles Darwish - charlesdarwish@hotmail.com.
Also contact Charles for information on a Torah L'Am course for late summer.
THANK YOUS
Daniel Roseman, Daniel Vulkan and the tech team for getting the website live.
Michael Wohl, Jessica Feldman, Claire Lobel (our designer) for the brochure and application form and Charles Darwish and Naomi Hass for coordinating going live.
JOKE FROM MS (CAN YOU DO BETTER?)
A son comes home from school one day and tells him mother that he is playing the role of the Jewish husband in the school play. She replies "Go back and tell the teacher that you want a talking role."
Shabbat shalom
