The Limmud Festival Hungary is an emblematic event in the calendar of the Jewish community. This much-expected event, first post-covid in-person event under the banner of Memory Futures, will be an excellent opportunity to learn, and gather for community members, international speakers and participants and people
interested in remembrance and cultural exchange.
Limmud offers a Jewish experience for participants in an inclusive setting, followers of different Jewish
denominations, secular community members and non-jews had a chance to connect through discussions, learning, food and rituals.
The venue choice, emphasis on including members of remote communities and an opportunity for participants to connect beyond identity affiliations that divide them every day aligned perfectly with a broader theme of the Limmud Value of Community and Mutual Responsibility.
One of the most important concepts the programming team worked on was “Memory Futures”. Aiming to incorporate following themes into the program:
- Relevance of biblical stories to the community's challenges in the XXI century
- Social media and Jewish education
- New educational approaches
- Innovation in the field of commemorations and remembrance
- Learning from other Jewish communities challenges and strategies
- Stories of renewal
