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.

World Hostel Conference is Coming To...

By Gal Mor, ROI Micro Grant recipient

While Israel is the largest exporter per capita of backpackers to various destinations around the world (mostly due to post army Israelis needing a break), it's still a very small market when it comes to incoming backpackers coming to tour the Holy Land.

Hazon Conference - More than Just Food

In my experience, ROI consistently achieves its goal to connect community innovators across the World.

Like Moishe House, it has a model that I hope other cultural, social and religious communities around the world learn from, empowering and enabling those who already have motivation.

New York, New York…

By Csaba and Adrienn Kürti, ROI Micro Grant recipients

We came upon the call for NextGen Charity conference in ROI newsletter, which sounded great, especially because ROI members were offered special discount and also because Micro Grant could be used for this purpose. After exchanging some emails with No’a we booked the entries for the conference and the flight tickets. Fortunately, Hungary is also a visa free country, thus we did not have to bother with it.

NextGen Charity was a two-day event so we added a week to establish new connections for our Foundation and also to start our fundraising activity.

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.
