CONNECTING OUR COMMUNITY – GESHER

Limmud-Oz – the Festival of Jewish Ideas –  is on this coming weekend, over the Queens birthday, with an incredible general program as well as age-specific kids programs planned.

This festival has been running every two years for many years, and each festival attracts around 1000 attendees. This year, there has been deliberate focus on making the festival even more attractive for young families, both in terms of the kids program, as well as the topics offered that would have specific appeal to parents.

This is a weekend of ideas like no other. Inspirational talks, with awesome international presenters, live music, debates and arguments, food, local experts and big Jewish ideas. You name it, and you’ll find it at Limmud-Oz.
