Buy a Brick Campaign
We are delighted to reintroduce the Pardes Buy a Brick Campaign. Engraved bricks provide an opportunity to remember a loved one, a special event, commemorate your years at Pardes or act as a great gift to family and friends.
Your engraved brick will be proudly displayed on the pathway of our Biblical Garden for you to enjoy for years to come. Not only are you helping to build a future, brick by brick, but you are making a permanent mark on our school by investing in the education of Pardes’ next generation.
The bricks will be available to you in two sizes. Please indicate your size choice and if you would like to include the Pardes logo on your brick. (The Pardes logo can only be added to the 8×8 brick.)
