Join us at Yom Limmud 2025 for a meaningful educational experience. We can’t wait to see you.
Yom Limmud has educated students, parents, and teachers across our diverse community for more than 30 years. Our theme this year is Am Yisrael Chai referring to the resilience Jews have shown in the world post October 7. We are honored to bring you classes related to Jewish Text, arts, health and wellness, Israel, antisemitism, public affairs & resilience. We are sure you will find an amazing session to enjoy.
We are thrilled to announce that our keynote speaker is spiritual leader, community builder, and socioligist Dr. Mijal Bitton, co-host of the podcast Wondering Jews.
Take a journey of your choice:
Dean Bell will talk about combating contemporary antisemitism. Yonathan Reches will explore the traditional craft of spinning Gid, or sinew thread. Benji Davis will navigate the Israel Conversation. David Ilan, our Horwitz Scholar, will teach about Archeology and the Exodus from Egypt. Michal Oshman will ask the question “What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid?” Our community shlicha Shir Benjamin will enlighten your palate by cooking Israeli food, David Bullet and Katya Malaya will teach Israeli folk dance, and Avi Posen will be Unpacking October 7th through music.
Whatever you are interested in, we have the class!

Two marriages have seemingly little in common: Esther and Schmuli are Orthodox Jews navigating strictly defined rules and roles, while Sophie and Abe are secular and free to make their own choices. But both couples are growing apart as they strive to balance their individual identities with the families they’ve created. As Esther tests the boundaries of her personal freedom, Abe falls into a correspondence with a movie star that will shake the foundations of his marriage and career. This funny, moving and thoughtful play asks if following one’s truth is worth it, no matter the cost.
