Begin your journey of Jewish self-discovery

The Florence Melton Adult Mini-School offers adults a well-rounded, in-depth study of Judaism in a user-friendly atmosphere. Students from all backgrounds explore Jewish texts from biblical through contemporary sources in an intellectually-stimulating, nondenominational approach. 

Explore how Judaism developed, how Jewish texts speak to the realities of modern life, and what Judaism means to you. Our dynamic faculty encourages group discussion and an inclusive exchange of ideas. Developed at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the program is designed for busy adults; there are no prerequisites, grades, exams, outside reading, or homework! Thirty once-a-week classes are held October-June; early-bird registration discounts are available.

Please notify me when fall class information is posted.
