Sunday, November 19, 2006, 9:30am-8:00pm at the Bronfman Center at NYU
7 East 10th Street New York, NY 10003 (bet. 5th Ave. & University Place)

Alma NY, in partnership with Storahtelling and the Bronfman Center produced Lishmah 2006. This day was dedicated to highlighting the depth and breadth of Jewish learning. By creating an extraordinary one-day experience for Jews from across social, political, and denominational lines, Lishmah inspired a revival in Jewish learning that touched the entire community..

Lishmah was a celebration of Jewish knowledge. We studied, shmoozed, had great lectures, films, music, performances and food. Top educators, artists, and performers from New York and Israel presented an innovative, multi-disciplinary and intriguing approach to the book of Genesis. “Fall for Genesis” was a day celebrating the Fall season, and, in the “spirit of Alma, ” we engaged in learning which “danced” between Jewish text and other forms of culture and art.
