Many of us are feeling grief, exhaustion, and fear of what’s to come. During these dark days, it is vital for us to come together as a community, and to support one another.
In an effort to support you and your loved ones, Pardes invites you to join us in gathering together as a community to engage in Torah study relevant to these tragic times. Following the tradition of gathering in public spaces for the sharing of words of Torah, we will be hosting a Torah learning series with sessions each Monday and Thursday.
Each session will begin with an update from Pardes in Jerusalem, followed by a shiur from a member of the Pardes faculty. The shiurim will be stand-alone, there is no requirement to attend all sessions. Sessions will run 30 minutes.
