PaRDeS

a Reform Jewish Experience for 11^th and 12^th graders

Mission Statement

The primary goal of PaRDeS, a collaborative endeavor created by five Reform congregations in Central New Jersey, is to provided our 11th and 12th grade students with programming -- grounded in a Reform perspective -- that is a mixture of both informal and classroom learning.

• Congregation Beth Chaim of Princeton Junction
• Har SinaiTemple of Pennington
• Or Chadash of Flemington
• Temple Beth-El of Hillsborough
• Temple B’nai Shalom of East Brunswick.

The opening session for PaRDeS took place on Sunday, October 25 from 4:00-7:00 p.m. at Har Sinai Temple in Pennington, New Jersey.  In addition to an introduction of our program, its staff and goals, we welcomed special guest Vanessa Hidary, better known as the “Hebrew Mamita”.  Vanessa is a New York based performance artist who shared two of her pieces with the students followed by an open discussion about Jewish identity.  To learn more about Vanessa and to view one of her performance pieces, please visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubdGjzzJiVs.  The evening included dinner and an opportunity to meet students from the other PaRDeS temples.
