Limmud LA to return in 2027 with more than 100 Jewish learning sessions
The Los Angeles festival, scheduled for Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, is expected to attract more than 1,000 participants and is accepting proposals from prospective presenters.
Limmud LA will return to Los Angeles from January 16-18, 2027, during Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, offering over 100 sessions on Jewish religion, culture, history, and contemporary life. The festival, which expects more than 1,000 participants, will begin with a Saturday night celebration followed by two full days of programming. Organizers have issued a call for presenters, inviting community members and experts to propose sessions, embodying the Limmud principle that "every participant can be both a student and a teacher."
The Jewish world needs more places where people with different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives can come together with curiosity, humility and a genuine desire to learn from one another.
The 2027 festival will honor Alex Shwarzstein, a former co-chair of Limmud NY, and aims to continue her commitment to pluralistic Jewish learning. Major sponsors include the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles and the Alex Shwarzstein Foundation.
