Limmud Scotland is a pluralist, cross-communal organisation for anyone who considers him/herself to be ‘on a Jewish journey’. The next Scotland Limmud Day (our fourth)
is scheduled to take place in Glasgow on 10 February 2008. We promise a vibrant atmosphere with a wealth of sessions – workshops, lectures, panel discussions which
span many aspects of Jewish interest (e.g. the Arts, Israel, social justice, history and text studies). Sessions are delivered by top-flight presenters from home and abroad.

 

Plans are under way for our February 2008 event and the team is raring to go.  If you have ideas to contribute, or if you’d like to give up a few hours of your time and work with
a group of friendly & interesting people, come along to our monthly team meetings.
