Lilmod is Hebrew for "to learn". Why Lilmod? The reason for Lilmod is simple. Learning is a natural function in Jewish circles. You must continue to learn, you must continue to grow, and it is most fruitful when done within community. This program fulfills not only the need to learn about the basics of Judaism, but provides a forum for dialogue regarding Jewish subjects such as history, tradition, Messiah, halakha and Torah -just to name a few. Soak up the wisdom of our Sages, the wisdom of our contemporaries, and enrich your life.
If you are looking to grow in knowledge and faith, Lilmod is the place. Come and learn...we welcome you.
