Limmud Comes to the Southeast
Something newish and Jewish is coming to Atlanta. It’s Limmud SE + Atlanta, March 1-2, 2008, at Oglethorpe University. Limmud is a festival, a learn-in, a place to explore. Now spreading across the globe, Limmud is a gathering, a happening, a way to connect with Jews of all ages. And it’s run entirely by volunteers.
What's the Schedule?
Join us at Oglethorpe University at the Conant Performing Arts Center, on Saturday evening after Shabbat for a magical Havdalah, see the play "Walking in Memphis, life of a Southern Jew," a play about growing up Jewish in the South and stay for drinks and dessert with live music at our "Another Night" of Ballyhoo party, followed by a "Taste of Limmud" @ 10PM with Rob Kutner and a special late night Blues Band Jam with the ShuffleJunkies.
The next day, Sunday, come back EARLY to Oglethorpe University for morning exercise programs and a full day of presentations, workshops, performances and more; running from 7:30 AM until 6:30 PM.
Choose from these and almost 100 session:
- Moses in a Megachurch
- Digging Your Jewish Roots with Farmer D
- Joseph, Phone Home
- What Madonna Doesn't Know
- Gefelted Fish: A Hands On Workshop
- Is What’s Ours Really Ours?
- The Race Beat: Press and Civil Rights
- From Addis Ababa to Atlanta
- Food as Sacrament: A Glutton's Tour
- Prayer for Jewish Agnostics
- Is it a Mitzvah to Get Drunk on Purim?
At Limmud there is no advanced sign up for presenter sessions.* You decide where you want to go when you arrive. Simply go to that session and take a seat. It is that easy. It is up to you... Be Your Own Jew.
See the schedule or the Welcome to Limmud Atlanta + Southeast 2008 Program Booklet.
And there is a separate FREE 1/2 day Sunday Teen track of cool sessions.
*Pre-registration required for non-session offerings: Free adult boxed lunch, child care, bike ride, and bus transportation to/from the Hunger Walk.
What does Limmud Mean?
In Hebrew Limmud means "learning," and that's what this is all about. Using local teachers, artists, thinkers and writers -- plus some special out-of-town guests -- Limmud is blazing a fresh new path to make Jewish learning informal, inspirational, and unforgettable. Limmud’s unstuffy and experimental spirit explores the vibrancy of Jewish life through song, text, film, discussion, and hands-on workshops.
