Limmud

Dedicated to Jewish learning in all its variety

Wherever you find yourself, Limmud will take you one step further on your Jewish journey

Limmud @ 40

We need your help! To celebrate our 40th birthday, as a legacy project, Limmud is creating an archive of the last 40 years. The archive will provide a historical record but could also be the basis of some research projects and other media projects.
We want your stories and photos. We want to hear about your Limmud stash of handbooks and pens. We want to know how Limmud has changed your life.
Please take some time to have a rummage around for the artifacts and photos which tell a Limmud story and then fill out a brief form – to tell us about your Limmud adventures over the last 40 years whether it be the 80s, 90s, noughties or the last decade. Thank you!

Unlike other organizations

Unlike other organizations, when you volunteer with Limmud you really have a chance to have an impact on others and on the community, to try new things and to lead. At Limmud, leadership is not about connections or money it’s about rolling up your sleeves and getting the work done.

Dr Ezra Kopelowitz

Limmud provides both a pathway for its volunteers to experience and embrace Jewish community. The Limmud phenomenon serves as a light that illuminates the potential of Jewish learning for Jewish engagement at its finest.

It has put me in closer touch with the younger generation and made connections and friendships that still generate personal and professional Jewish activities and enrich Jewish life.
