Schnitzer Institute of Adult Jewish Studies

“A JOURNEY OF JEWISH SELF-DISCOVERY” - The Florence Melton Adult Mini-School

Shomrei Emunah has been chosen to offer the celebrated Melton course of Jewish studies. The class began in the Fall of 2010 and is continuing.

THE PROGRAM
The class meets once a week for 30 weeks, beginning in the Fall. Each
session consists of one one-hour class. Although there are no prerequisites, exams or grades, participants are asked to make a serious commitment to regular study. Students register for one year at a time, and those who complete the full two-year program earn a Certificate of Jewish Learning from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. (Click here for a general description of the Melton program.)

THE CURRICULUM
The curriculum was developed and is constantly revised by a team of scholars at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Classes integrate Jewish history, law, beliefs, practices, ideas and terminology through
the study of texts – from ancient to contemporary. Instructors are experienced educators, trained to teach adults representing all segments of the Jewish community.

“Purposes of Judaism” is being taught by Rabbi David Greenstein from 10:30-11:30 am: Why do Jews believe what they do, and what are the theological concepts that unfold in the Bible, the Talmud and other sacred texts – both ancient and contemporary?

Tuition: $325 per year (scholarships are available)
