Noah: Yes, I came all the way here for this!

Another 1500 people came to the University of Warwick today, and thing really picked up steam. A full day of sessions--mine were led by Professors James Kugel, Deborah Lipstadt, and Mel Konnor; the Limmud UK leadership team; and a couple of local lay people--and plenty of social time. Limmud is almost like a mix between graduate school, where you choose your field of study and your classes, and camp, where just about everyone is happy to be there. Anna and I sat down next to an older man from Holland at dinner, and he excitedly described it as "Club Med for Intellectuals." I was flattered.
