What is a Pardes Pioneer?
A Pardes Pioneer is a passionate Pardesnik (alum of year or summer program) who leads a local Jewish learning circle. In partnership with IYUN, each Pioneer chooses from two thought-provoking topics and receives a fully prepared curriculum and facilitator guide. With all the tools and support in place, Pioneers recruit a group of friends, peers, or neighbors to join them for a eight session journey of rich discussion and shared exploration.
This is your chance to bring the spirit of the beit midrash to your dining room table or living room floor, and to inspire Torah learning in a way that’s personal, rooted, and real.
