Why are students so important to Limmud NY?
Although Limmud NY's community is made up of people of all ages, the
student population is the vibrant future of the conference. It is for
that reason that we value our student community and seek to provide
them with a unique and stimulating program that even furthers the
Limmud NY experience.
What will you do as a student participant?
- Meet students from all over New York City, New Jersey, Boston, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and many more!
- Participate in opening session, closing event, and oneg Shabbat programs that are specifically for students.
- Attend panels, eat meals, watch performances, and learn from
renowned Jewish educators, performers, and presenters from around the
country.
- Enjoy a unique Jewish experience like one you have never done before!
- High School students have their own program with special
sessions led by Limmud NY presenters. See the 2006 High School Program here.
- College students will have opportunities to have intimate
sessions with presenters and other college students. See information
about the 2006 College Student program here.
- Volunteer!
Limmud NY is a community of volunteers who have worked all year to
execute the conference. Volunteers also make up the "staff" that works
the conference itself. Students will have the same opportunities to
volunteer as everyone else (and get a behind-the-scenes look at
everything!) - at the help desk, as welcome greeters, setting up rooms,
and more! Student Fellows are required to volunteer a minimum of 5
hours.
