Limmud director Shelley Marsh has left her post after two years at the educational organisation.

The senior figure of the annual conference dedicated to Jewish learning is expected to take another communal post shortly.

Mike Schindler has been appointed Limmud director of operations in the meantime.

Following the success of last year’s conference at Warwick University organisers have promised to increase the size of the event. It will move to Birmingham this year.
