Yom Limmud - Sunday, February 19

Perhaps the best known of the BJE programs is its annual YOM LIMMUD
or
DAY OF JEWISH LEARNING.  Yom Limmud provides a unique
opportunity for Jewish Learners from all denominations and walks of life
to come together in one place at one time to learn, exchange ideas,
and share experiences.  Scores of seminars, featuring presentations by
rabbis, cantors, Jewish educators, college professors, cultural arts
specialists and other experts are facilitated throughout the day.  The
event also provides special programming for the children and teachers.  
Yom Limmud 2012 will take place on Sunday, February 19 at
Congregation Beth Yeshurun.

One of the most popular classes is
Hebrew Jump Start.  The
always-popular Hebrew Jump Start, taught by Rabbi Stuart Federow, is
an integral part of the Yom Limmud experience! From 9:30 a.m. until
12:30 p.m., participants will become familiar with the sounds of the
Hebrew letters and vowels, and will read directly from the Torah by the
time they finish! This is a good introduction to reading Hebrew.
Participants will take home materials to help reinforce what they have
learned.
