Jeff Davis
Jeff is a Grade 4 class teacher at Phyllis Jowell Jewish Day School and Cambridge syllabus biology teacher. He first participated in Limmud in 2009 and has been volunteering ever since, culminating in co-chairing the 2017 Johannesburg conference. Now back in Cape Town, Jeff looks forward to putting together an exciting conference once again. When not teaching, he enjoys hiking the Cape Mountains, and choir singing.

He recently graduated from a long stint in the youth movement world, and cannot wait to devote some of his spare time to Limmud and be involved in the amazing Jewish community. He also enjoys exploring the city, reading and football.
