Florence Melton Adult Mini-School

The Florence Melton Adult Mini-School (FMAMS) is a comprehensive, pluralistic program of adult Jewish learning offered throughout the world. Developed at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Melton curriculum offers adults a well-rounded, in-depth study of Judaism in a user-friendly format. Explore Jewish texts from Biblical through contemporary sources in an intellectually stimulating, non-denominational environment.

Ethics of Jewish Living – Address the relationship between Jewish life and ethical behavior. A text-based approach to Jewish ethical foundations, dealing with issues such as justice, life and death, sexuality and community.

Optional Israel Seminar – Upon completing two years of study, graduates have the opportunity to explore and study Israel with the Mini-school (we consider it the fifth class). The narrative of the land of Israel enriches all that the Mini-School curriculum addresses. Seminars are available in the winter and summer.

You may begin the program in the second year and take the first year’s classes the following year.
