Major Jewish event returns to Ukraine, bringing hope amid ongoing war, By Larry Luxner June 18, 2024
"...The May 24-26 event in Uzhhorod, a city of 115,000 near where the borders of Slovakia, Hungary and Ukraine meet, marked the first Limmud FSU event on Ukrainian soil since the war with Russia started in February 2022. Limmud FSU is a nonprofit, nondenominational cultural and educational organization designed to foster community and Jewish identity among Jews from the former Soviet Union. It holds events all over the world — including in North America, Europe, the Caucasus, Israel, and Australia.
“We hope that Limmud FSU gatherings truly serve as a light in these dark times,” said Limmud FSU’s founder, Chaim Chesler, during the opening event.
“It is incredibly special to us, and it’s a testament to the strength and spirit of our Ukrainian Jewish community,” co-founder Sandra Cahn added..."

Most #Limmud thing ever: met a (lovely) Conservative woman rabbi from Israel with a toddler the same age as ours. Told her that he’s a fellow rabbinic child. She turns to my wife and says: “So you’re a rabbi?”

Should Jews living in the Kovna Ghetto under Nazi rule refrain from reciting the blessing to God “for not making me a slave”?
Haunting #Limmud session on the Holocaust responsa of Rabbi Ephraim Oshry.

Great to see Rabbi Dr Rafi Zarum, one of my favourite Orthodox rabbis and educators, teaching #Limmud about sex and gender in how we relate to God.

Fascinating #Limmud session on the one WW2 concentration camp built in the British Isles: when land is dug up in formerly Nazi-occupied Alderney, even to this day, canisters of Zyklon-B are occasionally found.

This year’s #Limmud peer-learning project is focussing on the Book of Ruth. I was invited to conclude today’s session with a reflection on chapter 3 - I chose to look at the message it brings of respect for ‘unconventional’-seeming relationships https://gabrielquotes.files.wordpress.com/2022/12/limmud-ruth-spiel.pdf

Where can we find examples of #NonOrthodoxJudaism collaborating with #OrthodoxJudaism? Limmud!
#Limmud is an interdenominational #Jewish educational charity. It produces a large annual winter festival and several other regional events throughout the year on the theme of Jewish learning. Originally starting as a UK entity, it inspired a worldwide movement of Limmud groups, even in #Boston and #NewYork .
Many more examples of cooperation here at the link

I wear HAs, so.if the Rabbi wants me to hear Torah, I'm gonna wear them.
My first #Limmud listened to a woman from Naarm/Melbourne who focused on disabled in shul, a great presentation, and gave me comfort that I was "halatic' (sp?). I still have the text she used somewhere in my office, should look it up.

A very complicated first day at #Limmud (first one with a child!) but some fascinating sessions nonetheless: a Jewish approach to tax avoidance, and the halachah of hearing aids on Shabbat - devices described in one responsum as טלפון קטן, ‘a little telephone’.

At #Limmud 2015, m’colleague and I were volunteer babysitters assigned to the same corridor (and the rest is history)
At Limmud 2022, we’ll be entrusting our own little one to a new generation of volunteer babysitters!
And it all starts tomorrow morning 😊

A utopian space is one where we can express all our selves and, as you can see from the sessions I am presenting at

Festival, it's only my Kinder Surprise self that will be absent. I'm also once again involved in the embarrassment and disgrace that is
