Kolel Pardes Trust is a UK-registered charity established in 2001, dedicated to advancing Orthodox Jewish religious education and sustaining the Orthodox Jewish faith through scholarship, Torah study, and learning. Based in the London Borough of Barnet, North London, it is governed by a small voluntary board of trustees who prioritise maintaining authentic halachic values and fostering religious study environments like yeshivot and kollels. Its distinctive approach emphasises relational, community-endorsed investments in enduring Orthodox Jewish educational traditions rather than innovation or broader welfare.
What Kolel Pardes Trust funds
The Trust funds core costs, educational infrastructure, and direct programme delivery for established Orthodox Jewish institutions, including schools, yeshivot, and study programmes focused on Jewish law, culture, and tradition. Beneficiaries are primarily Orthodox Jewish individuals and communities in the UK, with grants supporting formal and informal learning initiatives that preserve religious scholarship. The focus is on the London Borough of Barnet and North London.
