Festivals of Jewish Ideas

What’s a

Limmud Festival?

Think conference + community convening + celebration of all things Jewish.

At a Limmud Festival, you can study Talmud and hone your challah baking skills; explore politics and history in between performances from groundbreaking musicians; meet Jews of all walks of life and reconnect with old friends.

Limmud is a unique crossroads where all Jews and all ideas converge and are elevated.

 

Limmud festivals transform Jewish communities across North America by providing a platform for Jews of all backgrounds to come together and learn from and with each other.

Our programs are designed by and for our participants, elevating volunteerism and ensuring that each experience meets the unique needs of the city in which it is based.

Teach

We elevate all voices – professionals and individuals – on a shared platform of learning where everyone has something to contribute to the conversation.

Collaborate

Working in partnership with local organizations, lay leaders, and contributors, festivals connect the dots of Jewish community, fueling new synergies.

Welcome

We welcome everyone – young and old, religiously observant and not – under the belief that the Jewish experience is stronger when we come together.

“Watching Jews from all walks of life, with different beliefs and practices, come together at a Limmud festival is truly heartwarming. The more we learn together, the more we learn from each other, the more we realize that every person is both a learner and a teacher.”
