As a Beit Midrash open to all Jews and with its heart and soul in Jerusalem and expanding operations in North America and beyond, Pardes strives to overcome Jewish illiteracy and provide an outstanding Jewish learning and living experience in Jerusalem. At a time when many young Jews are feeling more distant from Israel and the Jewish people, Pardes also provides robust Jewish heritage travel experiences to Europe to help strengthen that connection. The funds are primarily used to help those Pardes students committed to a career in Jewish education, where their influence on future generations will be maximized.
