Tiyul Talent Show

Posted on November 29, 2011 by Nikki Fig

During last week’s Negev Tiyul, I had the pleasure of hosting the annual Pardes talent show. After 14 acts, I am honored (and surprised) to report that there were zero cringe-worthy moments and plenty of awe-inspired gasps. In other words, Pardes is rockin’ with some serious talent!

Week 12: The Negev Tiyyul

Posted on November 25, 2011 by Derek Kwait

We went to the Negev just as Jerusalem was starting to get really, really depressing.

Week 5: Days of Awe

Posted on October 7, 2011 by Derek Kwait

(X-posted to my home blog, Yinzer in Yerushalayim,) Rosh HaShana was amazing. The services at Yedidya (which is a lot like YPS except much bigger, and, frankly, younger) were filled with singing and soul, and I got to attend lots of fantastic meals– in terms of both food and company–at the homes of a Pardes Continue Reading »
