The rooms with 1-3 beds have either their own bath or a bath that is shared with only one other room, apartment style (the sleeping quarters are not connected).

The buildings with 4-6 bed rooms are equipped with a shared bath in the hallway. These are modern bathrooms with separate stall showers.

The participant fee depends on the type of lodging you choose.

When registering, you can indicate with whom you wish to share a room. As long as rooms are available, we will be able to fulfill these wishes. Participants who do not indicate that there is a particular person with whom they wish to room will  be housed with someone of the same gender and similar age group.

The rooms with 4 and 6 beds are separated by gender (unless the wish is expressed to room with specific individuals).

Special needs will be taken into consideration when apportioning rooms, regardless of the fee category.

EJB also has rooms that are handicapped friendly. If you have special needs that we should take into consideration, please let us know in your registration form or by contacting us at anmeldung@limmud.de.
