Is Cost an Issue?

Our goal is to make Limmud NY affordable to anyone who would like to participate and who is a full-time student, or who lives, works or attends school in New York City (5 boroughs), Long Island, Westchester County, as well as Essex, Morris, Sussex, Hudson, Pasaic, and Bergen Counties in NJ. This includes families, full-time students, young professionals, retirees, educators, not-for-profit professionals, and anyone else for whom cost may be an issue.

Unfortunately, except for full-time students, we are unable to offer scholarships to those who live outside these areas for this year's conference. To enable us to accommodate the most people, scholarships are generally available for participants staying in triple rooms.

Please submit this registration form to request a scholarship. A $125 deposit is required to save your spot and to review your scholarship request. If you later decide not to attend the conference due to financial reasons only, your $125 deposit will be fully refunded. We will be in touch with you to discuss options after you register. You may also contact the Limmud NY Office for more information: 212-284-6968, or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
