everyone pays to attend LimmudBoston, it is the Limmud way to  help
make the conference a success. This is how Limmud conferences around
the world remain accessible.

Volunteer jobs on this site range from helping to prepare Congregation
Mishkan Tefila for LimmudBoston in on Thursday night, December 1 to
greeting participants during the conference to driving one of our
musicians to Amtrak or the airport on Monday morning.  And lots
in-between.
