E-Limmud - Online Jewish Learning

During these uncertain times, our dedicated teams all around the globe are working to replace, to some degree, our Limmud FSU gatherings with online e-learning. This page will be updated regulary with more and more exciting opportunities to expand your Jewish horizons while connecting to other members of Russian-speaking Jewish communities worldwide - without leaving your home.

We hope and believe that these sessions will provide ongoing Jewish literacy engagement opportunities and offer some form of continuity until we can, once again, gather in for our beloved Limmud FSU celebrations of Jewish learning, teaching, networking and connecting one with another!
