Limmud

Dedicated to Jewish learning in all its variety

:

Limmud is for everyone… 

  • All ages – with sessions and activities for people from 0 to 100+! 
  • All accessibility requirements – with all the Limmud programming happening at the Hilton Metropole, we can offer accessible programming rooms and bedrooms, and provide mobility scooters (subject to availability) 
  • All additional needs – we offer support for anyone attending Limmud Festival with additional needs. Please indicate your requirements on your registration form and we will get in touch with you to discuss them further. 
  • Affordable for Everyone – we aim to make Festival accessible to all financially – we know how hard this year has been for many, and Limmud has a confidential bursary application should you require a bursary for you or your family this year.  

We’re making an extra effort to ensure Festival is a safe and inclusive environment where everyone is free to make the most of their Festival experience as they wish. Every participant is required to read the Limmud Code of Conduct and can make any complaints through the Limmud complaints procedure. If you would like to submit a complaint in writing, this can be done by emailing complaints@limmud.org 

We have a team of volunteers responsible for ensuring Limmud Festival is inclusive for everyone. They have answered some FAQs that may be on your mind when registering for Limmud Festival 2023. 

How do I let Limmud know about my medical needs? 

Please include details of access, medical or other needs on your registration form, and we will do our best to meet your needs. All of this information is treated with the strictest confidence. 

What support do you provide for participants with additional needs? 

Once you have submitted your registration form, a member of the Festival team will be in touch with you directly to see how we can meet your needs. All of this information is treated with the strictest confidence. 

Some of the support we can provide includes: 

  • Reserved seating in session rooms for those with mobility needs or sensory impairments.

What other support and facilities does Limmud offer? 

There are a number of facilities provided to ensure your Festival experience is as positive as it can be, including: 

  • Orientation sessions to help participants get to know the Festival site. 
  • A wellbeing hub with resources and activities to support your welfare. 
  • A quiet room for anyone who needs a personal time-out.
