(JERUSALEM – April 13, 2021) Pardes is delighted to announce that Rabbi Dr. Meesh Hammer-Kossoy has been appointed Director of the Year Program at Pardes. Meesh is uniquely positioned for this role and will oversee all aspects of the Year Program including admissions, program structure, curriculum, work with faculty and department heads, student welfare, and student activities.

Meesh has been on the faculty for 22 years and is herself a Pardes alumna. In addition to her current roles as Director of Admissions, Director of Community Engagement, and head of the Social Justice Track (which she founded), Meesh has previously served as Director of Recruitment.
