TalkSpace: How Can We Take Limmud NY One Step Further?

Want more from Limmud than three days in East Brunswick? We’re looking to nurture and develop the experience of Limmud NY into a year-round learning community, fostering meaningful Jewish conversations around issues that matter as a way to cultivate a stronger and deeper sense of Jewish identity. If you’re interested in being a part of this journey, and having fun with fabulous coloured markers, join us for a dynamic ActionStorm (a bit like a brainstorm, but focussed on action!).
