Limmud Katan and Shmira

Limmud Katan (babysitting) is included in the registration fees for children 2 years old and under. Limmud Katan is offered at times corresponding to daytime sessions.  Note: Limmud Katan is not offered all day.  Specific times will be listed in program book available at conference.

Shmira is an opportunity for parents to attend evening programming while having their children supervised by another adult (the Hebrew term shmira means keeping watch).  We are asking parents who are interested in having their children supervised in the evening to volunteer a shift or two at another time in the Limmud spirit of volunteerism.  Shmira services will be offered Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings of the conference during nighttime sessions.  Shmira shifts will be the same length as Limmud sessions: 75 minutes with a 5 minute window to switch shifts.  If you are interested in participating in our Shmira services, contact Aliza Geller ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ) prior to the conference.  A confirmation will be sent to you with times and other details.
