Why Become a Melton Student? 
- Because you did not have the opportunity to study as a child, or you did not pay attention, or you have forgotten what you learned.
- Study with other adults: Join a group of other adult learners who bring to the table a lifetime of living and experience.
- Answer your friends and neighbors, colleagues and strangers.
- Feel more comfortable with your own tradition: You can participate more fully if you wish to and make your experience much more meaningful.
- Create a Jewish environment for your children and grandchildren: You will better understand Jewish values, beliefs, and observances.
- Become more Jewishly literate: Know the sources and the commentators, from Biblical to modern
What our students are saying:
.....It is inspiring to be among a group of people who have set aside an evening a week to study Judaism. We all felt included, and we all came away the richer for the experience.....
....A vibrant and exciting educational experience.....
...Melton has given me a thirst for learning...
....The teachers helped me formulate a new understanding of many aspects of Jewish thought and experience, and a greater comfort level with the divergent theological opinions...
....Our superb teachers have taken very often difficult subject material from Biblical and classical texts and showed us ways to interpret and understand....
...The classes were richer for the students' sharing of opinions, stories and humour.....
....We were given an opportunity to express our views without fear of any rebuke or criticism....and teachers were open to all questions.....
.....Each instructor has encouraged us to go beyond our own comfort zone....we have learned together, and we have learned from each other....
