Musings from Students of the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem
Posted on December 15, 2013 by Sara Spanjer
On Monday, December 9, one of our fellow students, Nataliya Naydorf, celebrated her Bat Mitzvah at Robinson’s Arch. Despite the cold weather and wet ground, we were all warm listening to Nataliya read beautifully from the Torah, and her meaningful and well written D’var Torah on Parshat Vayechi. Nataliya is, beyond question, a role model for every Pardes student. She showed and shared with all of us that we are capable of taking part in Jewish experiences at any stage in our lives, and even more, that The Pardes Community will be there to support you!
Here are some pictures and a video of Nataliya’s Bat Mitzvah and celebration!
