The Melton School

The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning is a global network of 60 community-based schools that offer adults an opportunity to gain Jewish literacy in a non-denominational, intellectually-stimulating learning environment.

The curriculum, created by scholars at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, explores the texts of Jewish tradition, both ancient and contemporary. Join us for spirited dialogue, meaningful study, and the opportunity to gain a profound understanding of what it means to be Jewish.

Gesher Program

The Gesher Program is a dynamic, engaging, and life-changing Jewish learning opportunity at the J! Gesher courses that are developed by the Dallas area Rabbis and Educators for JCC Dallas.

The Shalom Hartman Institute

Shalom Hartman Institute develops ideas that identify, frame, and bring a Jewish wisdom to bear on the challenges that face the world’s Jews today.
Foundations for Thoughtful Judaism is a pluralistic curriculum powered by Hartman that introduces foundational concepts of Judaism and Jewish Life. The courses invite learners to join Judaism’s interpretive conversation and are a distillation of the best that Hartman Torah has taught over decades. This curriculum is specifically designed to be accessible for adult learners.

Hartman’s curriculum aims to explore and make accessible the most compelling and deepest questions in Jewish thought. Each class demonstrates the principles and debates that underlie our Jewish heritage and encourage us to reject the assumption that every learner is on track towards practicing Judaism in a specified way.
