| What is Melton? |

Do Jews believe in an afterlife? Why isn't Moses mentioned during the Passover seder? Is fate a Jewish concept? What are the family conflicts in Genesis?

What is Melton?
If the answers to these questions intrigue you, or if you have other questions about Judaism, consider attending JCC MetroWest’s Florence Melton Adult Mini-School, a two-year adult learning experience taught by experienced adult educators with classes meeting once a week for 30 weeks during the school year.

Each session includes two one-hour classes with a break for coffee and informal discussion. Graduates receive a Certificate of Jewish Studies from Hebrew University and are invited to participate in a special seminar in Israel. There are no prerequisites, grades, exams or homework.

Classes meet at several locations throughout the MetroWest community with morning and evening options. The curriculum is based on the Bible and rabbinic writings and presents a series of viewpoints across the Jewish spectrum. Melton particularly appeals to parents who want to support their children in religious school, to pre-school and day school parents who want to answer the questions their children bring home, and to many other adults who want to increase their own Jewish literacy.
