Das Programm ist online! - Limmud

1. August 2015
14.00 - 19.30 Uhr
Liebe Limmudniks,
Dear Limmudniks,
es ist mir eine Freude, euch alle zum diesem besonderen Limmud-Tag zu begrüßen. Wir sind wieder zurück in
Berlin zu einem Festival jüdischen Lernens, zusammen mit den European Maccabi Games 2015, bei denen wir
heute dankenswerterweise zu Gast sein dürfen, um mit ihnen diesen Tag gemeinsam zu gestalten.
it is a pleasure to welcome you all to this special Limmud Day in Berlin. Together with the European Maccabi
Games 2015, who generously host us today, Limmud is back in Berlin for another festival of Jewish learning.
Weltweit gibt es mehr als 80 Limmud Gruppen, die tausende Juden mit unterschiedlichsten Hintergründen zum
jüdischen Lernen zusammenbringen. Mit den hunderten Maccabi Clubs auf der Welt verbindet sie die Hingabe
zum ehrenamtlichen Engagement, und der Enthusiasmus, unser jüdisches Erbe auf aktive Weise zu stärken. So
wie sich Athleten immer wieder mit neuen Herausforderungen antreiben, so bringt Limmud durch das Lernen
jede und jeden Einzelnen einen Schritt weiter auf dem eigenen jüdischen Weg. Es ist daher wundervoll, dass
diese zwei großen jüdischen Organisationen die Möglichkeit haben, sich zu treffen und von und miteinander
zu lernen.
Ich möchte den Angehörigen des Organisationskomitees der EMG 2015 für all ihre Hilfe und Unterstützung
danken, um diesen Tag Wirklichkeit werden zu lassen. Und mein besonderer Dank gilt dem Limmud-Tag Team
und all den Freiwilligen, die es Limmud durch zahllose Stunden für die Organisation dieses Ereignisses oder
durch Beiträge im Programm ermöglichen, ein weiteres Mal zu einem Ort zu werden, an welchem der Wunsch
zu lernen und der Wille zu lehren ein so natürliches Spielfeld erhalten.
Schabbat Schalom, und möge nun der Marathon jüdischen Lernens beginnen!
Jonathan Marcus
Vorsitzender Limmud Deutschland
Dear Limmud participants, dear friends,
welcome to this special event during these amazing and unique days of the European Maccabi Games 2015 in
Germany! This Limmud Day gives all of us the opportunity to take a break from competing at sports, and instead
unite us at heart through Jewish learning. As Maccabi athletes, Jewish values are a fundamental element and
source of our strength. This is why we are particularily happy about the Limmud Day and the opportunity for
our delegates from 36 countries to meet and learn with fellow Jews from Berlin and all over Germany. That this
may happen in this city is in itself a miracle, and a victory for all of us.
I therefore want to give my heartfelt gratitute to all volunteers, both from Limmud and the European Maccabi
Games, for making this learning experience happen. Furthermore, I wish all participants many unforgettable
memories, new friendships and most of all a lot of joy in the many opportunities for learning that are waiting
for you.
Maccabi chai.
Alon Meyer
President Maccabi Germany
There are more than 80 Limmud groups worldwide, engaging thousands of Jews from all walks of life in the
study of Jewish topics. And with the hundreds of Maccabi clubs around the globe, we share a commitment to
volunteerism, and an enthusiasm for strengthening our Jewish heritage in an active way. Just as athletes strive
to challenge themselves again and again, Limmud is powered by learning, taking each individual a step further
on their own Jewish journey. It is thus wonderful that two such big Jewish organizations get a chance to meet
and to learn with and from each other!
I want to thank the Organisation Committee of the EMG 2015 for all their help and support in making this day
possible. And my special thanks go out to the Limmud Day team and to each and every volunteer. It is through
their countless hours of organizing this event, or by contributing to the program, that allows Limmud to become
yet again a place where the desire to learn and the willingness to teach can so naturally find a proper playing
field.
Shabbat Shalom - and now may the marathon of Jewish learning begin!

304 25 | Ellahe Engel-Yamini | Der Mann Moses und die monotheistische Religion, Freuds Erklärungsmodell des
Antisemitismus | Vortrag | Deutsch
Es gibt viele Versuche Antisemitismus zu erklären. Freuds Zugang stützt sich darauf, Juden haben mit den 10
Geboten einen entscheidenenden Kulturbeitrag zur Zivilisation geleistet. Dies sei der Ursprung der Modernität
und der Aufklärung. Die Menschen seien jedoch im Herzen nicht bereit zum Triebverzicht. Juden würden dafür
ewig gehasst werden.
ECC A-D | Eduard Yusupov | ARVUT - Winning together, competing together and not against each other |

increasing the values of mutual guarantee and collaboration. (www.arvut.org)
304 41 | Josh Weiner | The Higher Torah: Elitism in Rabbinic Judaism | Shiur | English
Rabbinic Judaism is supposed to be fairly democratic: anyone can follow the rules of the Torah and be a fine Jew.
But in several places in our textual history we find references to another Torah, beyond the superficial one of the
common people; a Torah for the elite. We will examine and discuss texts, and try to understand their relevance.

ECC Raum 4 | Ben Crowne | Jews of Future Past: the X-Men, stereotypes and life as a minority | Lecture | English
One of the most popular modern science fiction series - the X-Men - was inspired by a great Jewish rivalry of
the twentieth century, and features open Jews, secret Jews, part-time Jews and non-Jews based on Jews. What
does this all mean? Why does it matter? Come along and find out.
Paris | Nina Nitzan Soto | WZO - Beit Ha'am: Feminism in Israel | Workshop | English
Have you ever thought about Israel in a feminist aspect? Since roughly half of Israel's population is female,
feminism is a very important subject. During the session we will get to know a few of the strongest feminists
in Israeli history and culture, discuss their achievements and the problems that the feminist movement in Israel
has had to face.
ECC Raum 1 | Mischa Yantian; Arthur Poliakow | How YOU can be a winner - The key to success in life and
interpersonal dealings | Workshop | English, Deutsch
The better question is: ”How hard can you get hit and how much can you take and keep moving forward“. The
world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows and sooner or later you have to stand on your own feet. We are all united
at heart, with equal roots, but also we are individuals with our own chosen paths in life. But how can you choose
your right path?

society I live in? It is inspired by the work of Israeli artist Hanoch Piven. Participants will use their creativity to
explore the complexity of Zionist and Jewish identity.

ECC A-D | Moshe Admoni | ARVUT - The best of traditional Jewish upbringing. Cultivating successful familial
relationships | Workshop | English
The word “Jewish” has always been a synonym for good upbringing and excellent education, but modern living
has altered familial dynamics and challenged Jewish values. The lecture will reveal the main assets of the traditional Jewish educational method, designed to bolster the family unit as a pillar of society and a source of
warmth and identity. (www.arvut.org)

304 12 | Michael Grant | Secrets of the Samaritan Torah | Lecture | English
The Samaritans split from the Jews between two and three thousand years ago, and have their own variant on
the Torah. Come and discover the insights the presenter picked up from its differences with ours: What light
does it shed on our Torah, and is it possible (whisper it!) that they have the original, not us?
ECC Raum 5 | Anita Kantor | WZO - Beit Ha'am: The Jewish Voice | Workshop | English
”The future of the relationship between Israel and world Jewry is dependent on claims of meaning and importance.“ Do you agree?
304 25 | Claus-Henning Schwarz | Who were Hitler's voters?: A statistical analysis | Lecture | English
The main topic of this lecture will be an analysis of the electoral statistics presented by the author Jürgen Falter

Nazi rise to power with its many now forgotten secrets. Finally, the results will be discussed with the audience.

neighbor. Based on traditional sources we will have a closer look at the Rabbinical interpretation of this verse.

Jüdisches Leben in Berlin nach 1945 spielte sich anfangs recht unauffällig ab. Nach der Wiedervereinigung und
dem Zustrom von bis zu 20 oder 30 000 Israelis hat jüdisches Leben in Berlin einen großen Aufschwung genommen. Es gibt praktisch etwas für jeden - jüdischen - Geschmack. Davon möchte ich erzählen.

In einer Welt wo alle individuell sein wollen, sind leztendlich alle wieder nur Teil einer grauen Masse. Und wie

Ist es nicht eine Welt der Begrenzungen, wo man seine Individualität nicht ausleben kann? Die jüdische Sicht
auf Individualität.

Limmud Mission Statement
Learning | Everyone should be a student and anyone can be a teacher. Learning embraces personal development, knowledge and skills. Learning changes people, inspires action and opens new worlds. We encourage the
creation of a learning environment in which people are able to reflect and grow. There are many inspirations
that can offer opportunities for learning.
Expanding Jewish Horizons | We strive to create individual, collective and communal experiences, through
which we strengthen and develop our Jewish identity.
Enabling Connections | We aim to create opportunities for communities and individuals to connect. We
recognise the strength of providing a space where spiritual, emotional and intellectual connections are made.
Participation | Volunteerism is a key feature of almost everything we do. We are all responsible for each other
and for the communities we create – everyone has an important contribution to make. We encourage participants to take an active part in all we do.
Empowerment | We inspire people to be ambitious about their contribution. We challenge people, and trust
them to rise to that challenge. We see the potential of individuals and communities, and support their development. We empower people to make choices and provide the information they need to inform those choices
(including in the biographies which we ask presenters to provide).
Diversity | We value the rich diversity among Jews, and so we seek to create cross-communal and intergenerational experiences. We value accessibility, and aim to be accessible to all. We value choice in form, content
and style in our programmes. We encourage people not to stereotype others.
Community and Mutual Responsibility | Limmud is a community of learning. We can achieve more together
than we can individually. We gain from, and should give something back to, the Jewish and wider community.

Respect | No-one is more important than anyone else. We expect all participants to be respectful of one
another, and to recognise that all volunteers are also participants. Personal attacks are not acceptable in any
Limmud context, especially within sessions at events.
Arguments for the Sake of Heaven | We recognise and appreciate that ‘arguments for the sake of heaven’ can
make a positive contribution to furthering our education and understanding. We do not participate in legitimising or de-legitimising any religious or political position found in the worldwide Jewish community. Anyone
coming to Limmud seeking opportunities for this will not find them. We have no part to play in the debates
between/across denominations. Sessions which encourage vigorous debate are entirely acceptable but we will
seek to avoid religious or political conflict. Sessions should be educational, and not polemical.
Religious Observance | We seek to create an inclusive environment for all participants whatever their religious
observance practices. We believe in the importance of enabling Shabbat and kashrut to be kept in all public
areas as far as possible, so that Jews do not have to separate themselves one from another. We recognise that
in private areas, people will behave as they wish. We ask that in matters of Shabbat and kashrut all participants behave in a way which is respectful of the religious observance of others.
