LIMMUD is an annual cross-communal ‘festival of learning’ which attracts over 25000 participants. Held across five continents in almost forty countries, LIMMUD started in the UK thirty years ago. The annual five day event now attracts 2,500 people from across the religious spectrum and boasts 350 presenters offering some 900 sessions. LIMMUD aims to enable each participant to step further into their Jewish journey. LIMMUD NZ is part of an exciting worldwide movement. LIMMUD means learning and this movement is all about learning and being inspired in an informal setting. The festival is spread over a weekend, starting on Shabbat with three sessions, and Seudat Shlichit. This year, 2025, we’ll be hosting Limmud in your Lounge where you can experience some of our presenters in an intimate setting in various lounges across Auckland with Havdallah and nibbles. Sunday is more formatted with “pick and mix” hourly sessions within six different streams. It's a full day and you can choose what interests you from an array of topics with local and international experts. If you need a break, grab a coffee and schmooze. We also offer a vibrant kids’ programme for ages 5+ and presenters to appeal to teens, as well as a creche for under 5s.
