Israel Summer Programs 2008
Join us for a powerful experience with the outstanding Pardes faculty. At Pardes, men and women of diverse backgrounds and belief systems encounter
the most compelling and challenging texts of Jewish tradition. Our students
are offered a unique experience of intellectual openness, rigorous textual analysis and
opportunities for personal spiritual growth.
Pardes is a gathering place for Jewish study. Our students come for our
summer programs in Israel from all over the world. What brings them together
is the common search for Jewish knowledge, and the greater self-awareness
and personal development that results from an intensive encounter with Torah
in the center of the Jewish world.
Summer Learning Program
The Pardes Summer Program consists of two or three weeks of intensive text study supplemented by optional social and volunteer activities, with Themed Tracks of Classic Jewish Texts, Contemporary Issues, and Spirituality and Art.
Summer Hebrew Ulpan
Improve your Hebrew this summer at Pardes. Combine the Hebrew Ulpan with a Summer Learning Session, or take it on its own.
Executive Learning Seminar June 29 to July 3, 2008
The Pardes Executive Seminar is geared to business executives, professionals and community leaders who wish to combine the experience of visiting Israel with an immersion into the study of classical Jewish sources
Day School Novice Teachers' Curriculum Workshop July 15-29, 2008
Aimed at new Judaic Studies teachers of grades 4-12, this program combines
professional development with Judaic learning in Jerusalem. The cost of
tuition, housing, and most meals is provided by a grant from the Mandell L.
and Madeleine H. Berman Foundation, as well as by contributions from other
donors.

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."
Netti M
"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."
