“For me Pardes represents the combination of engagement with the best Judaism has to offer and modern values. It is the best place for a Jew to truly struggle with all aspects of their identity in a safe, supportive environment. I have no doubt that were it not for Pardes, I would not be envisioning a future in the rabbinate.”
