Melton School: Members of the Tribe: Cornerstones of Jewish Identity

The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning engages adult learners in a life-enhancing study of Jewish texts and ideas that nurtures and deepens Jewish community worldwide. Through classes and travel seminars, Melton learners find Jewish texts and ideas accessible and relevant to their lives. They become part of a worldwide movement of committed learners who are empowered to enrich Jewish life.

This class is 6 sessions, and in them we will explore what it means to be Jewish today. In a world where identity is constantly questioned and belonging is complex, the series offers a powerful exploration of what ties us together as a people. We’ll wrestle with big questions, discover personal meaning, and uncover how understanding “the Tribe”– our shared history, values, and responsibilities– gives us tools to respond to the challenges of our time, both individually and collectively.

The class will meet Sunday mornings from 10:00 – 11:30 am starting October 11 at the Schaefer Family Campus.
