Opening the fourth cycle

The Pardes Project combines two vital objectives for the State of Israel: (1) Addressing contemporary security threats and challenges and (2) Integrating the rapidly growing Haredi sector into Israeli society (at present, Haredi children comprise approximately one quarter of first graders in Israel's educational system). The first objective involves recruitment of the elite of the Haredi yeshiva system to defend the Jewish State. The second, seeks to reduce social gaps while enhancing national unity. The Project utilizes their analytical, critical abilities honed through intensive traditional Talmud study and applies them to modern strategic issues. Pardes provides its recruits with a relevant higher education and tailored training that enables them to find employment in the technological and intelligence branches of Israel`s national security organisations to protect Israel’s national interests. . Israeli society is currently in a crisis; the polarization between the different sectors is increasing and we must make every effort to bridge the gaps in it in order to live together in harmony. By enabling its Fellows to be actively involved in solving problems of the State associated with National Security and Defense, the Pardes Program presents an ideal way to achieve this goal. It allows other sectors in society to come in contact with members of the ultra-orthodox community and leads to mutual appreciation and respect. Please help us achieve the goal this.
