Room 3
How do you commemorate the Holocaust? Zikaron BaSalon takes place in your own living room. We host a first- or second-generation Holocaust survivor and engage in open discussion and sharing. Join our taster session. Experience for yourself a true personal connection to the memory of the Sho’ah (Holocaust) and explore the opportunity of hosting a similar event in your own salon.
Room 5
Grab a drink, settle in on the couch and join Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies alumni and friends at Limmud for some words of Torah, reflection and schmoozing, inspired by this year's Pardes theme of 'Reset, renew, refresh: Shabbat, shmittah and us'. All are welcome!
Room 2
John Henry Lance was a British barrister commissioned in the 1820s to serve on an international court charged with suppressing the illegal slave trade of Africans to the former British colony of Suriname, South America. His life shows why it was so difficult for free people to renounce ownership in human beings during the age of abolition.
Room 4
This presentation will focus on Rabbi Akiva in the aggada (Talmudic story) of the four who entered the Pardes (literally 'orchard'). Through a study of Tosefta, the Talmuds of Bavli and Yerushalmi and the mystical literature of the Palaces, we will discover one of the aspects that seems to be at stake around the mythical place that rabbinic literature calls Pardes.

Room 1
JewThink is an online publication that features diverse Jewish voices investigating Jewish culture in all its forms. But what exactly is Jewish culture? And where do the boundaries between Jewish and non-Jewish culture lie? In this panel, JewThink contributors and editors explore these boundaries.
Room 7
New Israel Fund (NIF) Israel’s Adi Tufik leads you on a tour of the Jordan Valley, discussing the politics of the Valley with MachsomWatch. Palestinian residents of the Valley are among the poorest in the West Bank, with basic resources re-routed to private Jewish settlements. After the film, NIF UK's Atira Winchester will lead a discussion on the issues we’ve seen.
Room 8
This session will unpack parallel narratives in the life of Jacob and Joseph, illustrating how the concept of ‘liminality’ (transitional space) abounds in the text and how it impacts identity formation in both instances. We will be curious about the edifying value for our uncertain postmodern, pandemic reality.
