Pardes Levavot

Pardes Levavot, “Orchard of Hearts,” was formed in the spirit of creating conscious holy community. Our name expresses the spiritual blossoming of each individual heart within an inspiring and nurturing orchard.

Leah gives a quarter to her daughter Sarah. The little girl goes outside and returns 10 minutes later without the coin. Wondering what she had done with the money, Leah asks, "Where is the quarter I gave you, darling?"

"I gave it to an old lady." says Sarah.

"Oh you sweet girl. I am so proud. Tomorrow you will have a dollar."

The next day, true to her word, Leah gives Sarah a whole dollar. Off Sarah goes outside and returns later without the coin.

"What did you do with the dollar?"

"Oh, today I saw the same old woman," begins Sarah as her mother beamed at her, "and I bought a bigger ice cream."
