While being very active in the area of Jewish renewal in Israel for several years now, I only heard the name Limmud for the first time during ROI summit 2011 – but there I heard it over and over and over.

So when LimmudNY approached and I was fortunate to obtain ROI’s Micro Grant to participate in my first Limmud, I tried to contribute back by volunteering in several positions (which definitely seems to be the great spirit of the conference) and by giving three workshops.

A Yad Vashem Experience for a Young Jew from Poland

By Anna Bakula, ROI Micro Grant Recipient

In December, 2011 around 25 young leaders from across Europe gathered in Jerusalem to attend the seminar organized by Yad Vashem and EUJS. Thanks to Yad Vashem, we were able to participate in lectures and workshops conducted by eminent specialists. Participants had the unique opportunity to learn about the museum and research institute from the inside, to find out many interesting facts and to exchange opinions with other young jews. The wonderful seminar gave us a broader and deeper perspective on issues concerning the Shoah.

A Festival of Learning – Limmud 2011

By Rachel Olstein Kaplan, recipient of an ROI Micro Grant

Limmud is a utopian version of university. As this was my first Limmud Conference, I hadn’t known quite what to expect, but I was thrilled to spend a week transported back to the best aspects of my college years. My schedule was busy from morning to late night, but at Limmud, I could attend only those classes that most interested me. There were no tests and no papers, no pressure or deadlines, and the lecturers were all leaders in their field.

From My Experience: The Tikvah Fellowship

By Regev Ben David

Hi fellow ROIers!

This year I had the honor of taking part in the Tikvah Fund Fellowship, a full-time, year-long, paid program based in NYC. As recruitment for the 2012-2013 Fellowship begins, I thought I would briefly share my experience so far, hoping it might be of use to any of you who may be interested in applying.
