About Us
Limmud-Oz is a major Australian Jewish community-wide conference and festival celebrating Jewish learning and creativity.
Limmud-Oz began in 1999 and alternates between Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney last hosted Limmud-Oz in 2009 and attracted over 1100 participants from across the community. This year, the major Limmud-Oz festival is being held in Sydney.
Limmud-Oz is a unique, volunteer-led, cross-communal and multi-generational event, catering for the broad diversity of opinions within the wider Jewish community.
Limmud-Oz is just one of over 50 similar events under the umbrella of Limmud International , which is at the forefront of a revolution in global Jewish education and thinking, and is creating a learned, open, dynamic and respectful community. Limmud worldwide attracts over 32,000 people annually and continues to see unprecedented growth, even while more traditional community institutions suffer from decreasing numbers.
