What is the Florence Melton Adult Mini-School?

Florence Melton's vision is to offer Jewish adults the opportunity to acquire Jewish literacy in an open, intellectually stimulating learning environment. The programme, created at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, was launched in 1986 in the USA and in 1998 in the UK. In London it is run by a partnership of Limmud and the London Jewish Cultural Centre, and supported by the UJIA and the British Friends of the Hebrew University.

 

How does the course work?

Students meet once a week. Each class consists of two one-hour sessions with a break. The course is completed in two years; each year comprises thirty weeks spread over three terms.

 

Who designs what we study?

The curriculum is written by a team of scholars and educators at the dedicated Melton Centre for Jewish Education at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

 

How does Melton differ?

If offers university-quality teaching with subsidised fees and without qualification requirements. The unique cross-denominational format encourages dialogue and study in the context of mutual respect, making it truly open to everyone.

 

Who will teach me?

What is my commitment as a student?

Do I need to know Hebrew?
