Sunday December 27, 2009 to Friday January 1, 2010 "A thing of beauty is a joy forever" Jewish Perspectives on the Aesthetic

What role does beauty play in Jewish life? Is there a commandment for our homes, synagogues and ritual items to look attractive? How do we maintain balance in a world that has become focused on the external?

Join Pardes in Jerusalem for a unique combination of classic text learning and contemporary relevance, where we will explore these questions and more! The program includes classes, social and volunteering activities, a hike and Friday night dinner, all focused around this central theme.
