bullet Student Comments

"I loved my month at Pardes. All of my teachers were receptive and welcoming of questions. I came here to be intellectually stimulated and to have my first serious contact with Hebrew texts. I got both. I'm going back to Princeton and recommending the program to interested students."

"The experience surpassed my expectations. I came here expecting to delve deeply into Jewish texts and emerge having learned a little bit more about what my tradition teaches. Instead, I found myself being forced to ask the question - what does it all mean? I am grateful for that opportunity. Not only did I learn texts and wrestle with big questions, but I also learned from teachers, who are powerful role models."
