I look forward to the opportunities ב׳׳ה to learn more with Pardes in the future. All this as we gain skills to read and analyze our classic Jewish texts and explore their relevance, then and now. Studying Talmud, Bible and Jewish thought, we will probe how we emerge from crisis and confinement, reevaluate the familiar, and reembrace life and community. I’ve waited many years to learn at Pardes and it was well worth it. The Pardes Summer Program will accompany us as we move from our narrow spaces into the light. I am beyond happy that I can call myself a Pardes alumnus. Every day was exciting and stimulating! I have continued learning via Zoom with my Chavruta whom I met in one of last summer’s Pardes courses. I felt like I was in the Pardes community of learners through the ways you brought the classroom, Beit Midrash, and chavruta study into our individual homes. I never expected that my third summer session with Pardes would take place during a pandemic and online.
