The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning is proud to introduce "What's Mine is Yours", a unique curriculum designed specifically for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The curriculum consists of various modules (three one-hour lessons each). The first four modules were adapted from Members of the Tribe, covering foundational Jewish concepts related to identity and meaning. The next two modules were adapted from Press Pause: Rest, Assured, which centers around Shabbat and finding personal meaning. New adaptations, in collaboration with Matan, are in the works, and we will share those when they become available in the near future.
Accessibility is a core tenet of Melton's mission. As we continue to pursue that mission, we look forward to expanding "What's Mine is Yours" to communities across the world, thereby making Jewish learning available to all adults.

The Yesod Community Leadership Development program helps communities build their pipeline of excellent volunteer leadership. Hands-on training develops practical leadership skills. Jewish texts frame and inspire the conversation.
Bringing this program to a community is an investment in the development of individuals with leadership potential in order to build sustainable volunteer leadership as well as solid and empowering volunteer succession plans.

Bridging the Divide: A Call to Unity
The 2020 Pew Report revealed a growing divide within the Jewish community. To address this challenge, The Florence Melton School has launched the Roundtable Learning initiative.
What is Roundtable Learning?
Roundtable Learning brings together diverse members of you Jewish community for four engaging sessions of study and dialogue. Participants delve into relevant Jewish texts, develop essential discussion skills, and build meaningful relationships with people from different Jewish backgrounds and beliefs. Participating communities will identify local teachers who will lead engaging Jewish text study that will engender group discussions and facilitate community-building dialogue around emotionally charged issues.
Why Roundtable Learning?
- Fosters Unity: Bridges divides and promotes understanding between different Jewish denominations.
- Empowers Individuals: Enhances participants' knowledge and skills for effective dialogue.
- Strengthens Communities: Builds stronger, more cohesive Jewish communities.
