The Graduate Program provides an opportunity for graduates of the Florence Melton Adult Mini-School to continue their study. These classes allow a greater focus and deeper examination of selected Jewish texts and topics, from the Biblical to the modern. The Graduate Program invites you to study in more depth some of the topics that were only touched upon in the Melton core curriculum.

One new class is being offered:

Grad 310B- Wandering, Wonderment and The Promised Land! Exploring the Book of Numbers
Instructor - Janice Alper

What do kvetching, miracles, vows and talking asses all have in common? Probably not much, but they all appear in the fourth book of the Torah, BaMidbar/Numbers. This narrative work describes the ancient Israelites travels through the desert, their success and challenges.

In this course we will explore BaMidbar/Numbers in depth through several lenses: legislation, miracles, human nature and Covenant. Be prepared to bring an open mind, creative thoughts and ideas, and a willingness to look at a Jewish text in several different ways.
Two sessions are offered: Tuesdays (10:00 - 11:30am) and Thursdays (7:00 - 8:30pm) at the JCC
Schedule:Classes begin the week of October 27, 2008 and meet once per week, for 6 weeks, 90 minutes per session
Cost: $90 per person
This class is open only to students who have completed the two year Melton curriculum OR who have completed one year and currently enrolled in the 2nd year.
A minimum of 12 students is required to conduct the class. Please register NOW!
