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 J offers a two-year program to adults in the Dallas area.
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 are designed for, but not limited to, graduates of the Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning. Courses are offered at a variety of locations.
