Limmud
Limmud is a British-Jewish educational charity〔 which produces a large annual winter conference and several other events around the year on the theme of Jewish learning. Limmud is not affiliated to any strand of Judaism and markets itself as open to "anyone interested in Jewish learning".
Limmud (from the Hebrew word meaning "to learn") was originally a conference for "educators",〔 basing itself on CAJE, the Conference on Alternatives in Jewish Education of North America, formed in 1976. From CAJE, it took a volunteer ethos, not paying presenters, and not using titles. During the 1990s there was the significant change as Limmud reinvented itself as a community gathering, giving rise to a significant increase in the number of attendees and leading it to be described as "British Jewry's greatest export". The Limmud model has now spread to many other countries.〔
A distinctive feature of Limmud is that the events are organised by volunteers who, as "volunticipants", also take part as equals in the conference.〔〔 Limmud's largest group of volunteers are in their 20s and 30s. Around half of the UK "Forty under 40" (a community-wide initiative to identify the future leaders of British Jewry, published by ''The Jewish News'') have volunteered for Limmud and a former Chair of Limmud, Elliott Goldstein, topped the list.
== Organisation ==
Limmud's first professional appointment in 1998 was of Clive Lawton as part-time Executive Director, who gradually became backed by a full-time administrator. In 2006 Limmud recruited its first full-time Executive Director, Raymond Simonson, former Director of UJIA Makor: The Centre for Informal Jewish Education. When Simonson became Chief Executive of London's Jewish Community Centre,〔 now JW3, in 2012, he was succeeded by Shelley Marsh. She stepped down from the role in 2015.
