Limmud would not exist without its core team of volunteers, the unpaid heroes who build a conference for 2,500 people from nothing.

This eternally enthusiastic group of hardcore Limmudniks spend most of the year organising the event. Heading this army of the willing are Limmud's co-chairs, Shana Boltin and Jonathan Robinson. With this year's celebration of Jewish learning only days away, they will soon know if their efforts have borne fruit.

Australian Ms Boltin, who runs a vegetarian pop-up restaurant, said: "I've been involved with Limmud for six years in this country. It is an absolute honour to be co-chair. I've been lucky enough to work with an incredibly enthusiastic and dedicated group of volunteers. It has been a challenge, but very rewarding.

"Conference is going to be fantastic. We have put together a diverse and creative programme, full of panels, debates and creative sessions, including exhibitions, dancing and cooking demonstrations."
