Sponsor a Day of Learning

Honor. Celebrate. Remember.

Pardes offers individuals the opportunity to sponsor the learning in our Beit Midrash to remember, honor, or celebrate any occasion. When a Day of Learning is sponsored, a personalized sign is featured in the Pardes Beit Midrash, an announcement is made to the student body, and the occasion is also shared online with our friends worldwide. In addition, we invite the sponsor to say a few words to our students in person or provide Pardes with a written tribute to be read aloud.

To sponsor a day of learning, please contact michaele@pardes.org.il.

October 5, 2021 (Tishrei 29 5782)
Sponsored by the Tambor Family in memory of Belda and Marcel Lindenbaum z”l.

Belda and Marcel Lindenbaum were dedicated partners in the quest to achieve equal access to Torah learning and scholarship for men and women. They strongly believed that anyone seeking to delve deeply in Jewish teaching and learning at every level should have that right and ability. They believed this would be to the betterment of the student, the teacher and the community as a whole. They were strategic thinkers, big dreamers and straight shooters. They wanted those who learned to be recognized as learned and to be titled and paid as such. This was not merely a theoretical enterprise, but a project to bring justice and equity to their beloved community both in the largest and smallest sense. They firmly believed that all of this could and should be achieved within the framework of Halakha and that Halakha needed to reflect and inspire the best and most just society. The learning could not remain in hallowed halls and ivory towers, but had to be brought to life in the bright light of day. Halakha by its name and nature was meant to evolve. They refused to relinquish it to the hands of those who would merely have it mired in the past, who lacked creativity, compassion and insight to bring it to fruition again and again for every generation.

Thank you for your learning today in their memory. I can think of no better tribute to them and their work than a room full of dedicated men and women, such as yourselves, speaking words of Torah in their names. In their name, I charge you to learn deeply, think boldly and change the world.
