What Are People Saying?

"I love hanging out with fun people, enjoying new experiences, and relaxing in the beautiful North GA mountains. It just so happens that you can do all three awesome things at LimmudFest. Not one or two, but all three."

~ Russell Gottschalk, a freelance audio/video producer currently spearheading the Atlanta Jewish Music Festival

"My love of Limmud is rooted in the 'there's something for everyone'concept. I will never forget the thought provoking sessions, campfires, and amazing friends I made from around the world. The sense of Jewish community is amazing and makes me feel so comfortable."

~ Leah Fuhr, a native New Yorker and an educator who loves being involved in the young adult Jewish community in Atlanta.

"What I love most about LimmudFest are the people: people who attend are innovative, interesting, and involved with Jewish live in ways that aren't necessarily with the mainstream, traditional Jewish organizations or synagogues."

~ Jennie Rivlin Roberts, founder of ModernTribe, which brings Judaica and Jewish gifts to the new generation.

"The Deep South hospitality was second to none....LimmudFest Atlanta was a barnstorming success!!!"

~ Marcus J Freed, a performer, writer, educator, broadcaster and Bibliyogi. He flies by the wind, lives in the moment and is an ideological vegetarian who will definitely give up shwarma at some point in this incarnation.

"I loved the setting by the lake, which was an exquisite place to share stories and engage in prayer. I especially loved presenting the 'Tell Me Text' session (Friday evening) where three of us (Marc Spear, Rick Chess and myself with Paul Flexner as MC) explored a text each of us chose that touched had touched our souls and was fundamental to our Jewish identity. I was able to reveal the layers of who 'Peninnah' is (biblically and personally) and connect my name to my Pasuk in a verbal and visual way."

~ Peninnah Schram is a Storyteller who lives in New York City and shares Jewish folktales around the world in the oral tradition and also in the written tradition through her many folktale anthologies.
