Never Stop Seeking
The experience of each Jewish person is unique, shaped by when, where, and how a person lives their life. And yet Jews are also part of a worldwide community and heir to an age-old tradition. These can be sources of connection and meaning throughout your life’s journey.
Melton offers world-class opportunities for learning, growth, and travel — for people from all backgrounds. Because part of the Jewish tradition is to never stop seeking.
About Melton
The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning engages adult learners in a life-enhancing study of Jewish texts and ideas that nurtures and deepens Jewish community worldwide. Through a variety of classes, Melton learners find Jewish texts and ideas accessible and relevant to their lives. They become part of a worldwide movement of committed learners who are empowered to enrich Jewish life.
Melton is the largest pluralistic adult Jewish education network in the world, with 50 Melton communities throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, and South Africa. More than 40,000 learners have experienced Melton’s professionally developed curriculum and lively interactive classes.
Inventor and activist Florence Zacks Melton z”l (1911-2007) envisioned and endowed The Florence Melton Institute in 1986 as a project of the Melton Centre at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She sought to bring to life a comprehensive and sophisticated program of Jewish learning for adults. To this day, Melton attributes its values of accessibility, open-mindedness, integrity, community, and innovation to her enduring vision.
In 2010, Stephen Wise Temple joined the Melton network and became an award-winning Melton program in 2016. We focus on creating a warm community in each cohort, which deepens our learning.
