Limmud NOLA will host LimmudFest this year virtually on Sunday, March 14, with opening ceremonies at 11:30 a.m. CST and sessions running from 12 – 4:30 p.m. CST. The volunteers planning LimmudFest are turning the spotlight this year onto the uniqueness of Jewish life, tradition, and expression in New Orleans, greater Louisiana, and throughout the Gulf South. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur sessions are being intentionally designed to break out of your computer screen and get you connected (safely) to our wonderful southern Jewish community through discussion, creation, and movement,\u201d says Leslie Goldberg, co-chair for LimmudFest NOLA 2021. \u201cWhether your passion is studying Jewish text, cooking Jewish food, experiencing and creating Jewish art, or considering Jewish ethics and responsibility, you will find something here in this compacted, virtual LimmudFest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goldberg cites the LimmudFest vision, which guides the event: \u201cWherever you find yourself, Limmud will take you one step further on your Jewish journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the four hours of learning that each participant will select from the wide menu of sessions held on March 14, participants who purchase a ticket will gain access to ALL 20+ hours of video recordings after the event.<\/p>\n

Early Bird tickets are $18 until Feb. 14. General Admission tickets are $36. Access to special sessions are available with Limmud Boneh donations above the ticket price. Register for LimmudFest NOLA 2021 at: https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/limmudfest2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n
