Yom Limmud 2025: A Day of Learning, Joy and Rekindled Connection

Last Sunday, more than 200 participants of every age filled the Campus of the San Antonio Jewish Community for Yom Limmud, and the response was extraordinary. One hundred percent of survey respondents rated the day 4 or 5 stars, with 70% giving it a perfect 5. Comments poured in: “Fabulous,” “Excellent event,” “Such a pleasure to spend the day with such wonderful people.”

This local success reflects a broader trend. National studies show that since October 7, 31% of American Jews report being more engaged in Jewish life than before the attacks, with many seeking deeper connection and learning. Yom Limmud proves that San Antonio is part of this remarkable surge in Jewish belonging.

My heartfelt thanks to every staff member, volunteer, teacher, and participant who made this day possible. Now we look ahead: help us take Yom Limmud to the next level. Join the planning team and help shape the future of Jewish learning and unity in our city.
