Limmud LA

LimmudLALimmud Los Angeles is a community organization uniting Jews in Southern California through the production of a conference on Jewish education, arts and culture.

The Limmud conference is a yearly educational event, which attracts hundreds of Jews of various ages, professions and socio-economic status. During the four days of the conference, participants attend lectures, seminars, Jewish text study sessions, exhibitions, performances and other events, all of which are organized by volunteers.

Genesis Philanthropy Group has joined Jewish Community Foundation LA, The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, Samuel and Helene Soref Foundation, Nathan Cummings Foundation, and Righteous Persons Foundation in supporting this project.

  • To ensure the participation of Russian-speaking Jews in the Limmud conference;
