Limmud International, a section of the Limmud organisation between 2006 and 2016,[1] is a volunteer-led Jewish international organisation, based in London. It was initially chaired by Andrew Gilbert, then by Helena Miller and Uri Berkowitz, by David Hoffman and by David Bilchitz.[1] At the end of 2016, Limmud ceased branding Limmud International as a separate project. In 2021, the UK charity Limmud decided to split off the role of supporting Limmud groups worldwide and so this function is now performed by the Limmud Global Board, which is a separate entity from the UK charity.
Limmud (from Hebrew 'to learn')[2] is a British-Jewish educational charity[3] which produces a large annual winter conference at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole and several other events around the year in the UK on the theme of Jewish learning. Limmud events are organised by volunteers who, as "volunticipants",[4][5] also take part as equals in the conference.[6][7] Limmud's largest group of volunteers are in their 20s and 30s.[7]
The Limmud model, first developed in the UK, has now spread to many other countries.[3] Over eighty communities in 43 countries on six continents have active Limmud groups, including, in 2016 for the first time, Bogota, Helsinki, Michigan and Perth. There are 18 Limmud communities in North America and ten in Israel.
Limmud International supports networks of Limmud volunteers in establishing and developing Limmud communities overseas. It provides training, mentoring and support for Limmud groups, and offers a forum for the sharing of ideas and best practices.[1]
