Limudim’s Mission
Limudim is where Jewish learning comes alive in an environment that fosters a foundation for a lifetime of exploration, connection, and meaningful Jewish engagement.
At Limudim students acquire the knowledge, skills, and confidence to become active participants who will proudly contribute to the Jewish community and the world. Limudim serves as the foundation for a lifelong journey of Jewish engagement, building a vibrant Jewish future, one student at a time.
It is our goal for Limudim to be a program where neurodivergence and learning differences are embraced. But we do not just want your child to be included. We want your child to thrive. To help accomplish this, we would be grateful for additional information that we can use to help ensure your child succeeds in the classroom.

Post B’nai Mitzvah Teen Talmud
Shabbat Morning 11am-12pm
After becoming b’nai mitzvah, Jewish learning doesn’t end — it grows deeper.
In this class, students delve into the stories, arguments, and values of the Talmud, discovering how Jewish wisdom might inform their lives today. Students will study in chevrutah (pairs) — a traditional Jewish learning style that emphasizes collaboration, curiosity, and respectful debate. Together, we’ll explore what it means to bring our voices into the millennia-old Jewish conversation.
8th Grade OWL Learning
Tuesday 6pm-7:30pm with Lily Perkel & Erin Webb
A NEW class option for our 8th graders! Beth Jacob will be hosting an Our Whole Lives (OWL) course for our 8th graders on Tuesdays along with continued Teen Talmud on Shabbat. Having just completed their b’nai mitzvah training, it is a prime time for these students to dive into more sophisticated topics in Jewish thought.
Our Whole Lives (OWL) is a comprehensive and progressive sexuality education curriculum designed for students in grades 7-9. Developed by the Unitarian Universalist Association to be taught in congregational settings, this course provides honest, accurate information about sexuality in order to dismantle stereotypes and assumptions, build self-acceptance and self-esteem, and foster healthy relationships. Sexual ethics are deeply ingrained in Judaism, and Jewish texts recognize and often celebrate sexuality as a necessary and crucial part of life and development. In addition to the original curriculum (linked here), students will learn about relevant halakha and Jewish traditions. To learn more about OWL education, click here.

Saturday 10am-12pm: Madrichim
