"If you want to know why Limmud - the grassroots, all-volunteer, non-denominational organization that fosters Jewish religious study, culture, history and more - is now active in 55 communities around the world, then come to Limmud Conference (UK), the granddaddy of them all...one of the great cultural successes of our generation" The New York Jewish Week, 27 December, 2010
Join us at "the granddaddy of them all"! - the 31st annual Limmud Conference at the University of Warwick, UK.
Co-Chairs Jonathan Walters and Shoshana Bloom and their team of volunteers have been working since December 2010 to plan what promises to be yet another show-stopping, headline-writing, Twitter-trending, pulse-raising, genre-busting, cross-communal, multi-generational, international, volunteer-led, feast of Jewish learning and culture.
See www.limmud.org for more details and to book.
If you are interested in finding out what role you can play in building what was recently described as "a cross between a retreat, an adult education institute, the Hay Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe, with a touch of Burning Man thrown in” (The Guardian, 29/12/2010), please email conf11-chairs@limmud.org. There are plenty of opportunities to volunteer and be part of something truly unique and world-changing.

“Ranging from the study of Jewish texts to debates about Israeli politics, from music to cookery and from community histories to philosophical debates about the meaning of (Jewish) life, Limmud is an intense and vibrant week of a sort which could never have been imagined in the Anglo-Jewish community 25- 30 years ago.” Jerusalem Post 27/12/2010
