Phreddy Nosanwisch, née Wischusen

“I’m an artist. I can imagine just about anything in precise detail… except for my future. The only thing I can say from the depth of my heart, is that after having learned at Pardes, I’ll be able to give Judaism to my children in a way that is more alive than I ever dreamed I could, and I feel better equipped to serve HaShem with all of my faculties than when I arrived four months ago.

“If I only remember one part of my time at Pardes, it will be how a disciplined and consistent study of the magical (i.e. the TORAH) will in turn infuse magi into the parts of everyday life that seemed monotonous and dull.”
