Florence Melton Adult Mini-School
The Florence Melton Adult Mini-School invites you to discover a world-class curriculum created by The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Melton explores the texts of our tradition and investigates issues of Jewish thought, practice, ethics, and history.
Melton is an integrated, sequential, course of Jewish study. Participants attend 30 two-hour sessions a year for two years. At the completion of the program, participants receive a certificate from the Hebrew University and are eligible to take advanced, topical courses on many subjects in Jewish life. Apart from the willingness to make a commitment to Jewish learning, there are no prerequisites for enrollment in the Melton Mini-School. Watch a video clip about the program.
