Limmud Colorado: Outreach to RSJ Participants

Limmud Colorado, launched in 2008 over Memorial Day weekend with 211 registrants, will be recruiting up to 20 Russian-speaking Jewish participants to its 2009 conference. GPG's grant will allow Limmud Colorado to provide scholarships to first-time RSJ participants and to feature two presenters of interest to the Russian-speaking audience. There are an estimated 4200 people living in Russian-speaking households in Colorado, but this community is largely disconnected from Jewish life.
