The Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem immerses our students in
the study of classical Jewish texts. Men and women of diverse backgrounds
learn together in a rigorous, challenging and open-minded environment. This
learning experience nurtures a deep and personal connection to our Jewish
heritage, a love for the Jewish people and Israel, and the knowledge to
become leaders in the Jewish community. Founded in 1972, Pardes is an
independent institution not affiliated with any religious or political
movement.
For Jewish text study in Israel, including Torah, Talmud, Halakha and Jewish
philosophy, our experienced faculty present challenging courses with
Havruta study for all levels. Much more than a co-ed Yeshiva, Pardes in
Jerusalem offers a variety of educational Israel programs for college and
post-college young people interested in Beit Midrash study in an open
environment. We welcome students of all Jewish backgrounds and belief
systems, including Jews who are unaffiliated, Reconstructionist, Reform, Conservative,
Orthodox and post-denominational.

"The Pardes experience is clearly a critical way-station on the route to
extraordinary Jewish growth by scores of highly talented and motivated young
Jewish adults, year after year. They emerge unusually committed to raising
Jewish families, studying Jewish texts, involvement with Israel, serving the
Jewish community, and maintaining a life-long commitment to Jewish learning
and growth."
- Noted Sociologist Dr. Steven M. Cohen
