Nachum welcomed Sivie Twersky, Lay President of Limmud NY to this morning’s JM in the AM to preview the 10th Anniversary Limmud NY Conference. “For 30 years, the annual Limmud Conference in England has impacted the lives of thousands.  In 2003, a group of six visionary volunteers decided to reinvigorate the New York Jewish community by bringing the experience home.  With a grant from the Picower Foundation, UJA-Federation provided funds to seed the creation of Limmud NY.  Limmud NY became one of the select residents of Bikkurim: An Incubator for New Jewish Ideas, and in January 2005 the first Limmud NY conference was held in the Catskills Mountains.
