Limmud NZ and Oz: June 6-14 @ Online
Jun 6 – Jun 14 all-day
This year Limmud NZ is combining with Limmud Oz to provide a fascinating programme of Jewish learning online. Click here to see the programme. Click here for early bird registrations: $36 pp. ABOUT LIMMUD
From when we founded it in 2008, the national Jewish community embraced the annual Jewish Learning Conference, run by the Zionist Federation of New Zealand. When we started the JLC, we discovered that the community was hungry for more Jewish learning. And each year, we have strived to reach more people and make the conference even bigger and better. In 2010, we joined the international Limmud Federation. For the past 30 years, Limmud has brought Jewish education to communities around the world. Limmud brings together Jews of all strands, stripes and flavours, in an atmosphere of shared passion for and dedication to learning. We’re very proud to be part of the global Limmud community. We’ve got an exciting line-up this year, with presenters from near and far, presenting on a diverse range of scintillating topics.
