Text & Thought
Connect with traditional and modern texts in Hebrew and English. Work every day with a study partner alongside other Limmud participants in the company of experienced facilitators.
We provide a rich study guide to get you going – so you’re especially welcome if you’ve never studied Jewish texts before. Lashon (speech and language) is our theme for Limmud Colorado's first chavruta project. Bring a partner or find someone new to learn with when you get here!
Participants are encouraged, but not required, to attend all four sessions.

Text & Thought

A reform, conservative and orthodox rabbi will teach and discuss this question until one of them emerges victorious!
