Limmud and some more Limmud

From the Hebrew to learn "Limmud" is not only the definition to learn but a wonderful one of a kind experience.

As I am writing this post I am watching a music performance by Craig Taubman with all prayers and Hebrew songs modernize.

Monday was such a special day. I started the day full of enlightens by beautiful human beings who have so much to teach and share with this community of learners. 

I went to a session who spoke about Maria Montessori and her believes in religion and how should be teach on a classroom.

Later it was follow by a class taught Lee Lewis about the history of Bagels and how to make a bagel. I met an amazing women called Carole who will be hosting me during the three nights that I am staying in London. 



I also attended two sessions about on how to improve/make our own Limmud a better program/conference/experience for our community. There were over 30 people from different parts of this wonderful world who are also VOLUNTICIPANTS at there Limmud. 

The day only got better by the hour. I people are great! We built a whatsapp group, a micro community of Spanish speaking Limmudniks however we accepted Eli from Atlanta. There are Argentinians, Mexicans, a colombian and a Spaniard.


I saw a music show and finished with a comedy stand up with Jewish jokes, literally laught the whole time.

Picking sessions is hard, every hour I am missing something that I wished I had attended, 35 Sessions per hour... Can you imagine!! And in Miami we only have 12, ha... One day one day.

Today I attended my first Talmud Chavruta learning session by the wonderful Yaffa Epstein (who will be at Limmud Miami and hope I can attend).

Amazing sessions, great brainstorming on how to make Limmud communities better!! Ohhhhh how much I love this place! Is it a place? An experience? Or just magic?

Heard Ari Shavit and had a conversation about Latin Jews and the relationship of israel with southamerica! He remembered me from the day before! How honored!



Today I spoke with Natan Sharansky, thank him for everything he does code the Jewish world! 



Days only get better and tomorrow is the last day!!! Off to enjoy the next day!
