Rabbi Daniel Landes is the director and Rosh HaYeshiva of Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem and New York City.

Landes has been described as a "remarkable teacher who weaves the insights of his students together through a group process, in order to discover fascinating new meanings in age-old texts."

He was a founding faculty member and Director of Educational Projects at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and a professor of Ethics and Values at Yeshiva University of Los Angeles. He taught Jewish Law at Loyola Law School, and was a faculty member at prominent think tanks such as The RAND Corporation, and major Jewish educational institutions such as the Brandeis-Bardin Institute and CLAL.

The Rabbi remains a long-term faculty member of the Wexner Foundation and serves on the educational advisory committee of Taglit-birthright Israel.
