Jewish Culture: Limmud NY

In general, Jewish Culture is a very big thing to get involved in. One of the sites that I found appealing in Jewish Culture is Limmud NY. Limmud NY is "a conference and a festival that has a gathering of hundreds of Jews from all walks of life, all Jewish backgrounds, all lifestyles, and all ages. Limmud is four days of lectures, workshops, text-study sessions, discussions, exhibits, performances and much more—all planned by a community of volunteers." Limmud is Hebrew for "learning" which is exactly what the conference/festival is about. From the rest of it's explanation, Limmud NY is a fantastic opportunity to learn and discover connections to Judaism through ideas and tradition. The five day conference has about 8-12 simultaneous sessions per day that span from morning until late night on topics ranging from Talmud to psychology, from film to Bible, from drama to Israeli politics.

I thought limmudny.org was a great site to look to because of it's opportunities to meet tons new people in the Jewish community, as well as learn with them. It's a wonderful network-connecting tool for the Jewish community because it brings together a large group of Jews from Jewish communities around the world, from any and all denominations and all reaches of Jewish culture.
