CONFERENCES/FESTIVALS ARE HELD IN ISRAEL, EUROPE/UK, RUSSIA, AFRICA, ASIA, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA AND THE US. AN ESTIMATED 40,000 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN A LIMMUD EVENT SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD IN 2017. LIMMUD IS NOW A WORLD-LEADER IN CROSS-COMMUNAL, MULTI-GENERATIONAL, VOLUNTEER-LED JEWISH LEARNING EXPERIENCES, AND HAS BECOME REGARDED AS ONE OF THE MOST VIBRANT, DYNAMIC AND SUCCESSFUL EXAMPLES OF ALTERNATIVE EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS IN THE JEWISH WORLD. IT IS UNDOUBTEDLY BRITISH AND EUROPEAN JEWRY'S PREMIER ADULT EDUCATION INITIATIVE, WITH OVER 2,000 PARTICIPANTS FROM 40 COUNTRIES ATTENDING THE 2021 UK LIMMUD FESTIVAL, WHICH WAS AN ONLINE EVENT DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
