Limmud International Grant for ROI Members to Participate in Limmud Conference 2012 (UK)

Many ROI Community members are already involved in Limmud groups around the world as volunticipants (volunteers + participants), presenters and staff. ROI and Limmud International recognize the value of ROI members on existing and potential contributions to the global Limmud community and on the ground locally. As such Limmud International would like to support a deeper connection between the two communities.



Limmud International is introducing a special early grant this year to support participation in Limmud Conference 2012 (UK) this December at Warwick University campus (www.limmud.org/conference). This will reduce the price of registration, on top of the ROI Micro Grant available to members who have not used their full 2012 allocation (up to US$1,000).

In addition to you being able to access the unique learning and networking environment of Limmud Conference 2012 (UK), the Limmud International programme will provide dedicated sessions to better understand what Limmud is all about, how to develop local Limmud communities including shared peer experiences and a chance to spend time with Limmud community organizers in person from across the globe. Limmud International will facilitate connections between ROI grantees and the leadership of their local Limmud group.

Grant details (APPLICATIONS HAVE NOW BEEN CLOSED)
Limmud International will award £133 (approximately US$200) to each of 15 successful applicants towards their place at Limmud Conference. This includes accommodation, food and registration. Grant recipients will receive a code in their acceptance letter to reduce their application fee by £133.

The cost of a place at Limmud Conference 2012 for a single room with shared bathroom (college accommodation) during the early bird period is as follows::  
  • Shabbat Limmud (Friday 21/Saturday 22 December) + Main Conference (Sunday 24 – Thursday 27 December) + round trip coach/bus from London (Golders Green) or Heathrow airport = £564 / approximately US$890
             With LI grant this will be £431 / approximately US$680
  • Main Conference only (Sunday 24 – Thursday 27 December) + round trip coach/bus from London or Heathrow airport = £415 / approximately US$650
             With LI grant this will be £282 / approximately  US$445
