Florence Melton Adult Mini-School Offers Unique Jewish Study Program

The Jewish Community Center of Greater Ann Arbor offers The Florence Melton Adult Mini-School beginning each September. The Mini-School is sponsored by the JCC and made possible through funding by the Jewish Federation and Covenant Foundation and in collaboration with a consortium of community congregations and organizations.

The Melton Mini-School offers a rigorous but accessible two-year course of Jewish study. The classes are taught with a pluralistic approach that draws upon the best scholarship from all movements of Judaism. Jews of all levels of knowledge and observance are welcome.

Melton is a program of Jewish study initiated by philanthropist Florence Melton in 1986 in cooperation with The Hebrew University in Jerusalem. It is offered in more than 65 locations in North America, Europe, Australia and Israel. The curriculum is designed by scholars at Hebrew University. There are no exams, no homework, no pre-requisites; the only requirement is the desire to learn.

Year One and Year Two classes are offered weekly for 30 weeks at the JCC. The subsidized tuition is $550 annually and includes instruction and course material.
