Pardes Experiential Educators Program+YCT: a five-year experiential education and rabbinical school program, with the option of a Masters of Jewish Education (from the Davidson School at JTS), which will train excellent rabbinic educators who will work in the field of experiential Jewish education.

Both of these options offer advanced text study with world-class faculty in the Pardes and YCT batei midrash; Jewish education studies at Pardes in Jerusalem; semikha from YCT rabbinical school; Masters in Jewish Education; advanced Clinical Pastoral Education; unique real-world internships with master mentors; and generous stipend packages.
