New: see the timetable or download the full programme guide

The Leeds Day Limmud is now less than a month away and the 9th incarnation will be bigger and better than ever before with over 60 sessions on offer. This year, the Leeds team have decided to spice up the Programme strands which consist of:

Words and Music for the Jewish Soul
Holocaust, Race and Genocide
Land of Milk and Honey
The Heim and the Diaspora
"I Am Jewish": Expressions of Jewish Identity

To whet the appetite of Limmudniks, presenters include Rabbi Naftali Brawer, Lorna Fitzsimmons, Jaclyn Chernett and Vanessa Rosenthal, with the day including sessions on Harry Houdini, Italian Jewish cookery, Jewish mothers, Food in Yiddish song and much more. For the more active and creative participants, there will also be Israeli dancing and the opportunity to create your own mosaic. There will also be jewellery and books to purchase and displays from Jewish Renaissance and the Jewish Police Association.

Places are filling up fast but it's never too late to be part of it - book on-line to reserve your place at what promises to be an enjoyable, eclectic, educational extravanganza. For further details contact leeds[at]limmud.org or see the 'Leeds Limmud' Facebook group.
