The Florence Melton class was something I had planned to take after I had retired. An adult mini school for Jewish education intrigued me but I didn’t think it fit into my life at present. I work full time and thought that Jewish adult education would be one of the many things that could fill my days when I had more time on my hands. I had visions of me falling asleep in class after working a full day. But I kept running into people who had taken the courses and loved it. Eventually, I decided to try it.

Read what our partners have to say:

Rabbi Angela Buchdahl

Central Synagogue, New York City
Melton has been transformative for our adult learning community, drawing on an entirely new group of adult students and transforming them into lifelong learners. We have found that engagement with Melton has also translated to greater engagement in Jewish life as well.

Rabbi David Glickman

Congregation Beth Shalom in Overland Park, KS
I can speak from my personal experience… that shuls benefit from this partnership as well. Much of our community’s synagogue and Federation leadership are Melton alumni, and our shul’s alumni have been catalysts for us to continually improve our adult education offerings.

Rabbi David Woznica

Stephen Wise Temple, Los Angeles, CA
If you care about the future of American Jewish life, if you care that Jews are educated and fall in love with Judaism, you’ll care about having a successful, passionate, thriving Florence Melton School.
