Enriching Jewish Journeys at Every Stage.
The Partnership’s adult education classes provide the opportunity for Jews of all ages and backgrounds to engage with the vast spectrum of Jewish thought and experience through meaningful text study and dialogue. Our outstanding teachers and innovative curricula investigate how the stories and debates in our ancient texts can bring meaning to our present lives and inform our modern dilemmas, and likewise how our current debates can give us insight into our ancient texts. Our classrooms become communities where learning is joyful, nuanced and meaningful.

Testimonials:
The teachers have been excellent, the learning environment has surpassed my expectations and the whole experience has reinforced my deep Jewish pride. I now have a renewed desire to pursue the continuing journey of learning. – Carole Forman
I really enjoyed the Melton class and learned a tremendous amount from it. I think my best AHHA moment came when all of the pieces started fitting together: the Biblical stories, the legends, the historical significance, the cultures that influenced Jewish thought from the earliest times, and the agricultural rhythms that were the glue holding all the customs and rituals together. I knew about many sources but mixing all these factors together it made a huge impact on me by bringing all the bits and pieces and putting it all in one piece and saying this is what we Jews came from and how we have adapted through the ages. - Brenda Bergstein
I have found the Melton classes this year to be the best Jewish learning experience I've ever had. The key was the quality and style of the teaching, especially the focusing on one of two issues and allowing the class discussion to develop. I found the class to be mature, thoughtful, and serious. The diversity of observance and knowledge in the class was a positive and not a negative. I am looking forward to next year. – Tom Sacks
