Dear Limmudnicks, Liebe Freunde!

Limmud Europe is a direct result of a new energy amongst European Jews, in a post-pandemic, increasingly connected Limmud world. In particular in the last two years you have all helped regenerate and reinvigorate Limmud with pan European initiatives like LEV (Limmud Europe Values), Limmud Med, Limmud Rhine or Baltisher Limmud. You have also successfully organized the first local Limmud events after many years of hiatus (not only resulting from the pandemic): in Italy, in the Netherlands, in Hungary and other places.

This year we will see even more of these grass-roots initiatives with the first Limmud ever to be held in Luxembourg and Valencia in December, and upcoming Limmud Danube and Limmud Med.
 
Join Limmud.de in Hannover 9.-11. June 2023
Today we want to congratulate Limmud.de, who have been working around the clock to organize the first Limmud Festival in Germany since 2017! Organized in the beautiful Villa Seligmann in Hannover, it is the event for Jews in Germany and around Europe. Packed with workshops, discussions and text study in your European language of choice (German, English, Russian or Ukrainian), here is a taste of what's to come.

• Limmud Danube Team - a team working to develop programming for our "bodies of water" series, this time focusing on the rivier Danube. Exploring the rich heritage as well as contemporary complications of communities living in Germany, Hungary, Austria, Moldova, Bulgaria, Croatia or Bosnia-Herzegovina.
• Limmud Systems Team - if you have IT skills or a good systems brain we would love your support in the delivery of the next stage of our website and implementing a CiviCRM system to improve our operations. In short: looking for Geekmudniks!
• Development & Training - with more teams approaching us for help, we would love people to help us think what kind of training to provide our European Limmud family and how to best design a leadership development path for our volunteers.
• Limmud Communications Team - if you love to write, feel comfortable around social media and have lots to say and enjoy creating content - please make sure to reach out to us and let us know!
