Emphasizing an experience of Jewish tradition that speaks across boundaries, Pardes brings together Jews of all backgrounds to connect and grow through the shared language of classic Jewish text. Since its founding in 1972 in Jerusalem, Pardes has empowered Jewish adults of all genders and upbringings to delve into timeless Jewish texts, engage deeply with Jewish peoplehood, and strengthen their relationship with Israel. Pardes is fostering the Jewish leaders of today and tomorrow, demonstrated by our alumni community of nearly 10,000, which includes past and current Hillel professionals, Jewish educators, and Dorot and Wexner fellows. Pardes is on track to further root itself in the bedrock of Jerusalem and further establish itself as a pillar of strength in the Jewish world with the construction of its new home, Beit Karen.

The Chief Development Officer (CDO) position is a unique and critically important role for a top tier development executive to help optimize Pardes's fundraising opportunities.
