Mini-Melton

1-hour, early morning

class for busy learners.

T

he Detroit Jewish communi-
ty will pilot a new program
for the Florence Melton
Adult Mini-School (FMAMS).
"Melton for Busy People" will meet
for one hour a week, throughout the
year for approximately three years,
instead of the traditional two-hours
a week, for 30 weeks, for two years
Melton program.
"Melton for Busy People" begins each
Tuesday from 7:30-8:30 a.m. starting
Oct. 28, at the Max M. Fisher Federation
Building in Bloomfield Township.
The idea for "Melton for Busy
People" was the brainchild of Jeffrey
Schlussel, first co-chair of the Melton
Advisory Committee. He proposed a
class for the professional looking to
study an hour a week before work.
Metropolitan Detroit Melton Director
Judy Loebl created a class geared for
the person who has always wanted to
take Melton, but thought her life was
too hectic, while keeping the integrity
of the Mini-School intact. This first-
of-its-kind Melton class has been
endorsed by International Melton
as a pilot program in the hopes of
recreating the program in other cities
throughout the world.
The FMAMS curriculum is
designed to offer adults a well-
rounded, in-depth study of
Judaism in a user-friendly format.
Developed at the Hebrew University
of Jerusalem, adult Jewish learners
from all backgrounds learn about
the Jewish heritage and culture in
an intellectually stimulating, non-
denominational environment.
Students investigate issues of Jewish
thought, practice, ethics and Jewish his-
tory through the exploration of Jewish
sources from Biblical to contemporary
texts. There are no prerequisites, tests
or homework. The school is open to
any member of the Jewish community.
The cost for the first 60 weeks
(year 1) of "Melton for Busy People"
is $495. For information or to regis-
ter, call Marion Bronstein, (248) 642-
4260 x372. FMAMS of Metropolitan
Detroit is sponsored by the Jewish
Federation of Metropolitan Detroit,
Alliance for Jewish Education and
the Jewish Community Center of
Metropolitan Detroit.
