LimmudBoston - a program of transformational
Judaism.
No matter where you are on the spectrum of Jewish living, there is more
to learn and more to do. As we learn from Pirke Avot, "
Turn it and
turn it for everything is in it, and through it you will perceive
clearly" [
Pirkei Avot, Chapters of the Sages. 5:26]
That is what LimmudBoston does with Jewish learning.
In the fall of 2010, LimmudBoston will offer a day-long festival of
Jewish learning, with workshops and presentations for all generations,
and all members of the Jewish community. Based on 30 years of Limmud in
the UK, LimmudBoston promises tastes of the best in Boston Jewish
scholarship, arts, music and community opportunities.
LimmudBoston 2010 will take place right after the High Holidays
. Before
that, there will be Taste of LimmudBoston events all over the Greater
Boston area, raising the community consciousness of the beauty of Jewish
study.
Here's what happens at LimmudBoston:
- creative arts - music, art, movement
- text study
- davvenology
- movement
- meditation
- politics & peoplehood
- storytelling
- chevruta
- Lifecycle modeling
Limmud events challenge you--intellectually and philosophically.
Everyone is welcome, so lots of points of view will be found at Limmud
and Taste-of-Limmud events. The Limmud flavor includes diversity of
presenters, topics, style, age participation, gender participation and
traditions.
