All Jewish, all the time… Even if you’re an Atheist Jew
I came across this piece about 2,500 Jews spending the week between Christmas and the New Year sitting at a Limmud. Which isn’t all that exciting. Then, there’s this. Deborah Freeman describes herself as a “borderline atheist”. Are there also atheists who come to Limmud? I ask Adler and the others at the info desk.

At Kiva.org, the Irreligious team is raising the most funds.
