“Being able to combine traditional Jewish learning with an incredible internship in Jerusalem are the reasons I came to Pardes. Before I found the learn & intern program I was torn between doing an internship or a learning program. Pardes gave me both! This was a game changer and ultimately made my decision to come to Pardes.

“I love being able to learn from teachers who have dedicated their lives to Torah both in learning it and living it. My time at Pardes has challenged me in a way that no other experience has. Some challenges I did well on while others I still have a lot to work through, but the patience and wisdom that every question is met with continues to blow my mind. I love that there is a place that I can now call home, somewhere I can learn and stretch my wings as I discover more connections for myself in Judaism. “
