Check out the Pardes Social Justice Track!!

Goals of the Pardes SJT:




* To define a Jewish Vision(s) of Social Justice through Jewish text



* To give current and future activists and Jewish professionals the tools... to use Jewish text to inform and inspire their work.



* To learn about the state of the field and the specific challenges in the State of Israel with the help of supplemental guest lectures and field visits

Method(s):




* Through a close study of Jewish texts, primarily Talmud and codes, around an agenda dictated primarily, but not exclusively, by those texts.



* Supplementary lectures by people in the field, in both governmental and non-profit sectors. Most of these lectures will be during lunch before the class.



* Through leadership development in conjunction with the community service component of the Pardes program.
