Limmud International Survey
Steven Cohen and I recently completed a survey of Limmud participants worldwide. Limmud is a Peoplehood venue par-excellance. Limmud is a volunteer driven "celebration of Jewish learning," which takes place in the form of a one day to many day conference in a large number of countries world-wide. The Jewish learning is not associated with any denominational, religious or ideological movement. The events pull in a broad spectrum of the Jewish community from the entirely secular to Orthodox.
The research is comparative, providing insight into the differences between Limmud participants in different countries and the different manner in which they report benefit from their participation in Limmud.
Here it is:

If you want to learn more about Limmud in the context of Jewish Peoplehood, see a research project I did with Shlomi Ravid on Peoplehood organizations in which we feature a case study on Limmud. Click here.
