Melton Core Curriculum:
The Melton School Core Curriculum is a two-year course of study that provides adults with a comprehensive understanding of Jewish thought, practice and history classes (Year 1: Rhythms of Jewish Living & Purposes of Jewish Living; Year 2: Ethics of Jewish Living & Crossroads of Jewish History). This course provides a framework in which to integrate previous and future learning while also challenging its students to find their voice within our diverse tradition. The core curriculum integrates Jewish philosophy, ritual, ethics, literature, theology and contemporary Jewish life. A new Core Year 1 class cohort launches every fall. Please email Judy Karin at jkarin@cbbsb.org if you’re interested in joining.
Foundations of Jewish Family Living Curriculum:
Foundations provides parents raising Jewish children with a thought-provoking encounter with the core values of Judaism. The curriculum brings to life the master stories from our tradition and the profound messages they convey. This rich learning experience enables parents to bring the Jewish conversation home to share with their young child. A new Foundations class cohort is now forming.
Scholars Curriculum:
Building on Melton’s Core Curriculum, The Rachel Wasserman Scholars Curriculum is a set of courses that focus deeply on various Jewish subjects. From Torah interpretation to issues related to Israel, World Jewry, and the Modern Jewish experience, each course presents an opportunity for in-depth learning and exploration. Students read and discuss texts ranging from those written by Biblical-era scholars to today’s leading thinkers.
