Limmud FSU - Melbourne 2015: Presenter's Registration

Welcome to the Limmud FSU 2015 Presenter’s Registration

We are extremely excited to have you on board for the inaugural Limmud FSU retreat in Melbourne.

Limmud FSU is coming to Australia for the first time. It is a two-day retreat-style event dedicated to Jewish people from a Russian-background in Australia. This event celebrates the culture, traditions, learning and identity of our community.

Every Limmud event is enriched by a diverse array of presenters: leaders in their field and those who simply love their subject. They all have something engaging to say, insights to offer and treasures to give you to take home. There are sessions to delight, engage and challenge - whether you want to study Jewish texts, discuss community issues, argue politics or catch some of the best performers in the Jewish world.

If you choose to be a presenter, you will receive all accommodation and meals entitled under registration. When not facilitating your sessions, you can also participate in the Limmud FSU sessions and activities throughout the duration of the retreat.

Registration is a quick and simple process. Once completed, our team will be in touch with you to advice of the status of your application.

We note that as a presenter, you can register multiple individuals in the one registration however these participants will not be entitled to the discounted presenter’s registration fee.
