Welcome and shalom to Limmud Ottawa 2014!

Our new location at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre promises to be a welcoming home for Ottawa’s Limmud community. Those of you who have experienced Limmud in the past know that such a program can only happen with the help of many dedicated volunteers. We take this opportunity to thank everybody for their contributions:

  • The steering committee. From ideas to their implementation, this dedicated group toils all year round to develop, plan and make it all happen.
  • Our Limmud Ottawa volunteers. They are responsible for everything! We thank them for the enthusiasm, inspiration, ideas, organization, brainstorming and implementing the ideas. They remain the driving force behind today’s event. 
  • The Jewish Federation of Ottawa for their generosity and for supporting our vision. The JFO is responsible for providing Limmud with an extraordinary venue.
  • The Soloway Jewish Community Centre for their professionalism, experience and    patience. They have had to endure countless of inquiries, emails, phone calls, meetings and just about anything dealing that has to do with program logistics!
  • Ottawa’s Jewish organizations: The Zelikovitz Center for Jewish Studies, Vered Israel Cultural and Educational Program, Canada Israel Cultural Foundation, Vered Jewish Canadian Studies Program, Hillel Ottawa for paving the way and for your unyielding support.
  • Our esteemed Rabbis, speakers and academic advisers for their contributions, their guidance, mentoring, encouragement and wisdom.

May we continue to go from strength to strength.

Yashar koach!
