“Everyone at Pardes has been amazing and so helpful with the application process and in the logistics of moving to Jerusalem for a year. The environment at Pardes is very supportive and close knit. Moreover, all of my instructors are true Torah scholars and I have learned so much from them as well as the other students. Taking this year off from work and life in America was totally worth it. Pardes has given me a lot to take home.”

I am a pharmacist from Austin, Texas. I have long dreamed of taking a year off to study in Israel. A friend from my Synagogue recommended Pardes. I looked into the program and saw that it was just what I was looking for. The curriculum was challenging, diverse and inclusive.
