Do you feel good about your Jewish heritage, but are limited by the scope of your Judaic knowledge?

Do you yearn to enhance your understanding of what is meaningful to you about Judaism, but don't know where to begin?

If so, The Florence Melton Adult Mini-School is exactly what you have been looking for. In this new concept of using adult learning techniques with a Judaic curriculum, students have a unique opportunity to engage with the classic sources of Judaism. Interactive discussion, combined with a creative and knowledgeable faculty, provides an optimum environment for learning.
