You are about to embark on an exciting adventure as you join students from over 45 sites in North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and South Africa that are currently part of the Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning network.  Dedicated to providing a solid foundation of adult Jewish education to serious, sophisticated students, the Florence Melton School has proven to be an experience that changes lives and shapes communities.  Throughout its history the Florence Melton School has helped over 40,000 adults achieve Jewish literacy in a comfortable, pluralistic environment.  It has inspired them to become dedicated learners - to explore and to experience, to challenge and to define what Judaism means for themselves and their children.  We look forward to a wonderful year of Jewish learning!

From Sinai to Seinfeld:  Jews and their Jokes

This course will show how the things that make the Jewish people laugh represent a distinct period, theme, or preoccupation in Jewish history.  Jewish jokes are deeply revealing sign posts along the Jewish journey.  This course treats Jewish jokes as Jewish text, and invites students to "read" and interpret jokes and humor in an attempt to reveal the concerns, styles, rhythms, preoccupations, and values of the Jewish people buried deep in words that make us laugh as Jews, and that continue to bond us as a people.  

Day:  Thursdays beginning on January 7, 2021 - March 18, 2021 (no class 2/25)

Time:  6:45 pm - 8:15 pm via Zoom

Social Justice: The Heart of Judaism in Theory and Practice 

This course will draw from text and from history to explore just how social justice work goes beyond addressing short-term needs and looks at structural causes of injustice and how these are best addressed today.  Topics include issues related to poverty, immigration and environmental degradation.  Students will be encouraged to dedicate class time early in their study to identify issues that are particular to their own communities and that they would like to explore in greater depth.

Soul's Cycles:  A Ride Through the Chapters of Life

Let's learn about life's celebrations in tandem with Jewish meaning.  In this course, we'll say "L'Chaim" to Jewish markers of time, rites of passage and celebratory rituals.  En route to the finish line, this six-week course will navigate the winding roads of childhood and adulthood rituals, and how we understand them as Jews today.  Our time together is certain to bring soul to life's big moments.
