When you connect to the FLORENCE MELTON ADULT MINI-SCHOOL you connect  to your Jewish past, present, and future.

The Florence Melton Adult Mini-School, an innovative adult Jewish learning program, gives you the opportunity to achieve basic Jewish literacy in just two years.  Students of varying backgrounds together explore Jewish texts to understand how Judaism developed and what Judaism means to them.  This inclusive approach fosters an atmosphere of warmth, respect, and mutual understanding.

Melton students…

  • explore how Jewish texts speak to the realities of modern day life
  • learn the “why’s” of everything Jewish from dynamic teachers in an engaging classroom environment
  • gain the knowledge needed to share the joys of being Jewish with their family.
“I came to the Melton program with no formal Jewish upbringing.  I walked away enriched with enough confidence and comfort to impart the joys of being Jewish to my own family.” 

The Florence Melton Adult Mini-School is sponsored by a consortium including UJA Federation of Northern New Jersey, JCC’s and congregations in our community.

Melton classes run from October to June.
