Residential Limmud Jewish Educational Conference in 2010? (Discussion)

davacado said – Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:47:49 -0000 ( Link )

The UK Limmud runs a very successful week long residential conference that attracts over 2,000 participants and offers innovative Jewish educational events for thousands of Jews from all walks of life, all backgrounds, all lifestyles, and all ages. Having completed 3 very successful One Day Limmud Toronto festivals in 2002, 2005 and 2007, is the Toronto Jewish Community positioned to go ‘residential’. Does Toronto have the critical mass, volunteer base and educational thirst for such an endeavor?

    That’s a fantastic question, Dave! I don’t want to be the first to reply again, though. I hope others will start to unravel the pieces of this question soon.

    I don’t know if there’s a space on this community to add links. But I think one of the things we should be doing is looking at comparable retreats in other places—how do they work? how many people do they attract? what do they charge? how long do they last?

    To which end, I offer some possible models:

    http://isabellafreedman.org/—the Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat centre, which runs retreats with a spirituality, meditation, and educational focus, even sometimes arts focus, out of New York state

    www.kolel.org—our own local Toronto Kolel, run by Elyse Goldstein (great Limmud supporter), which now runs educational trips, many of which are pretty high-end

    I’ll keep adding more as they come to me. Please do the same.

    Um, it might also help to look at hobby-based conferences, like this one for podcasters in Kingston: http://www.podcastersacrossborders.com/
