ome months feel as if they
take years to pass, and
sometimes they fly by
before you know it. January
passed so quickly and with
so little time to reflect, but
it was one of the best months of my work life.
I’ve never felt luckier to work with my colleagues
and I’ve never been prouder of, or more excited
about, the work we’re doing here. Pardes Magazine has shared early mornings and late nights
together, poring over projects, posts and to-do
lists, and this month they are my most cherished
Valentines. To have people who share your vision
and not only give their time and hard work, but
100% of their creativity and passion, is the biggest blessing I could ever receive.
This month we’ll be celebrating Valentine’s Day
with content that’s tailored to these themes
(in addition to our regular design content) and
seen through the lens of what we love most
here at Pardes: creativity and authenticity. I’m so
excited to show you everything we’re working

on, but before we dive into this month’s content,
I wanted to use this editor’s letter to send all of
you a love note and say thank you. This month’s
most popular holiday too often focuses on
romantic love when it should be about celebrating all the special people in our lives—family,
friends, colleagues and those who make us smile
throughout the day. For me, that’s not only my
team here, but also all of you online who crack
me up on Facebook, leave meaningful comments on the site and share such personal and
important photos. Finding and embracing these
communities on and outside of the magazine
has been so wonderful these past few months,
and I wish I could send all of you a real Valentine
in the mail.
Yes, it’s February, so you might guess I’m thinking about flowers, chocolates and romance.
Sure, all of those are nice. But instead, I’m
thinking about partnerships, friendships and
community.
