Our Mission
To celebrate Jewish life and learning in all of its diversity by bringing together Jews of all backgrounds and all ages for learning experiences. We are driven by the belief that diversity of perspective, dedication to learning in its broadest sense, and a strong sense of volunteerism are keys to mobilizing and inspiring Jewish individuals and community.
Our History
The Limmud Atlanta & Southeast community brought Limmud to Atlanta in 2008. It started with day-long events and eventually expanded to the 3-night Limmud in 2009. Limmud started in England more than thirty years ago.
Today, local Limmud movements are sprouting up all over the world from the UK to Russia, New York to LA.
Core Values
Learning
We foster the creation of a learning environment in which people are able to reflect and grow — a place where everyone can be a teacher and everyone can be a student.
Empowerment
We inspire people to be ambitious about their contributions; we challenge people to push themselves toward their potential; we empower people to make informed choices.
Expanding Jewish Horizons
Limmud strives to create collective and individual experiences through which we strengthen and develop our Jewish identities.
Community and Mutual Responsibility
Limmud is a learning community in which we can achieve more together than we can individually.
Participation
We are all responsible for each other and for the community we create — everyone has an important contribution to make, and volunteerism is an essential feature of everything we do.
Diversity
We believe in the richness of our diverse community and strive to create inclusive and cross-generational experiences.
Fostering Connections
We recognize the importance of providing a space where emotional and intellectual connections can be made.
