Limmud

Dedicated to Jewish learning in all its variety

BRINGING FESTIVAL TO YOU

We are back online for five days of unmissable Jewish arts, culture and online learning from Friday 24  to Tuesday 28 December.

Although we cannot be together in person, Limmud Festival remains an extraordinary opportunity to gather online, connect and learn. Wherever you are in the world, join us on our simple online platform for everything from music to Mishna and cooking to current affairs.

Limmud Festival 2021 will take place online from Sunday 26 to Tuesday 28 December. You can also enjoy activities online before and after Shabbat (Friday 24 – Saturday 25), as well as in your own home during Shabbat with the help of our ‘do-it-yourself’ kit delivered to your door.

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.

It’s an opportunity to work

It’s an opportunity to work with passionate, committed people. It’s an opportunity to create the community we want to be part of. It remains one of the most important things happening out there.

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.
