Tonight is my second night at what is known here as "Conference"--but known to Americans as Limmud UK. I am at a pub with an Israeli singing a niggun on the mic, sitting with old ATL friends and new international friends, and watching Jodi Mansbach's kids (well, her son Eli and his lifelong friend Sydney) play Banagarams.
I am a part of a delegation of Limmudniks from Atlanta that is here to experience the real thing in order to own the feeling, the concept, the way of being that is Limmud. The hope is that we can bring that essence back to the ATL to make our own Limmud bigger, better, and truly brill (British for brilliant, or awesome). Among those teaching us the ropes is our own Deborah Lipstadt, who is a regular here at conference.
We will be using this forum to share with you our musings and reflections on Limmud :)
