The Pardes Summer Curriculum Workshop is aimed at new Judaic Studies teachers of grades 4-12, combining professional development with Judaic learning in Jerusalem. The cost of tuition, housing, and most meals is provided by grants and contributions.

The program will consist of the following elements:

- Pedagogy workshops
- Discussing new developments in education
- Collegial sharing sessions (on school issues and curriculum)
- Field trips, evening programs and optional Shabbat programming
