Learn with Pardes

Inspiring Engagement in Jewish Life

Now is the time for us to deepen your connection to Jewish learning and to the State of Israel. At Pardes we offer a number of immersive programs centered around our Beit Midrash in Jerusalem for Jews from all backgrounds. Our learners come in as students and leave as communal leaders and builders.  

And right now, we need more of these than ever before. 

Year Program

Get to know Israel, yourself, and your tradition with the Pardes Year Program.

Spend a year in the Pardes Beit Midrash and dive into deep and meaningful Jewish text study. As a member of our community of learners, you’ll explore Jewish ethics, spirituality, and philosophy with our world-renowned faculty.

Summer Program

Spend your summer engaging with Jewish ideas and experiencing how classic Jewish texts interact with our contemporary world.

The Pardes Summer Program offers two sessions of dynamic, interactive study of Jewish texts in a vibrant community of students from around the world. Each session includes several tours around the Jerusalem region, and inspiring community programming.

The Pardes Center for Jewish Educators

Develop the skills you need to build a more vibrant Judaism for future generations as a Jewish educator.

The Pardes Center for Jewish Educators offers two immersive programs in Jerusalem for those seeking a career in Jewish education. The programs combine intensive classical Jewish text study with pedagogical training, and mentorship.  Jewish educators and leaders are empowered to serve as knowledgeable, skilled, reflective and passionate professionals. 

The Pardes Teacher Fellowship is a fully funded, two-year teacher training program that aims to produce skilled and knowledgeable Jewish Studies educators to work in North American Jewish day schools.

The Pardes Experiential Educators Program is a fully funded 10-month program that prepares educators and leaders to inspire a love for Judaism in camps, schools, campuses and communities across North America and Europe.

During this pivotal moment for the Jewish people, there is no better time — and no place more meaningful. Join us!
