Young Limmud

WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT? Limmud consistently attracts the top speakers in the UK, US and beyond as well as providing entertainment from a wide range of Jewish comics and performers. On Limmud the participants are effectively surrounded by a totally Jewish environment - cultural, historical, religious (Limmud is completely multi-denominational) and socially. For more information about the adult conference visit www.limmud.org/conference.

Young Limmud is for the participants on Limmud aged 4-17. It is an aspirational and unique program that provides access for its participants to the same top speakers that adults queue in droves for, as well as age-specific peulot for all the participants. Equally the Young Limmud program is designed to facilitate its participants to "take one step further on their Jewish journey" and this philosophy also extends to you, the youth leaders.

Young Limmud uses a format unique to Jewish residential camps. The participants are on program from 9.00am-5.00pm after which Volunteers and parents take full responsibility for their children. All leaders who work on Young Limmud have their place completely paid for and are free to participate in Limmud Main Conference from (at least) 5pm every day as well as having scheduled breaks during the day to catch a session or some shut eye! On the 'pre-Limmud Shabbat', leaders are free after training sessions finish.
