In an increasingly polarized world, Pardes continues to celebrate and honor a multiplicity of Jewish voices, reinforcing our commitment to nurturing our collective tradition of healthy, respectful constructive conflict, mahloklet l’shem shamayim (arguments for the sake of Heaven), around differences of outlook, opinion and practice.
Engaging mindfully with different voices pushes us to grow with integrity and build community with compassion and understanding. Just what the Jewish people – and the world at large – needs most right now.
As a non-denominational learning community, Pardes supports the spiritual, intellectual, and personal growth of students with a wide range of Jewish affiliations, expressions, and commitments, across and beyond the major Movements.
