‘To be a part of the Paideia program was an amazing adventure for me. I felt as I was offered an unexpected opportunity to immerse myself in the gorgeous Jewish culture. I felt as I was cuddled by those texts, words, sounds of the Jewish tradition I learnt about during the courses. I left my work and my daily routines, to go to Paideia and to listen to the voices that always whispered to me, the voices of Jewish past and present. Paideia made listen to them more carefully and helped me to answer many important questions.’

At the heart of Paideia is the One-Year Jewish Studies Program, dedicated to the study and interdisciplinary interpretation of the textual sources that have served as the wellsprings of Jewish civilization. The program has been running since Paideia began operations and is one of the most intensive Jewish learning experiences in Europe. It offers a combination of traditional textual study methodology (hevruta), an academic and critical approach to interpretation, and an applied dimension answering to contemporary needs, making it a unique program in Jewish studies.
