The world famous chavruta programme
Connect with traditional and modern texts in Hebrew and English. Work every day with a study partner alongside hundreds of other Conference participants. This year's Chavruta project, on the theme of 'One', is an international collaboration by Limmud communities in Israel, New York, Australia and the UK. 
Mind, body, spirit
Conference isn't just for the head. Engage your whole Jewish being with a range of sessions designed to get you interacting like never before. Study a text and engage with it again through drama, poetry or creative writing. See how meditation, yoga, exercise and sport can get your energies up right throughout the day.

- an afternoon discussion group for the over 50s
- coffee and chat for first timers
- and much more
