STUDENT RESPONSES:
“Melton is an experience beyond expectations. It is learning and relearning facts, stories and history that we thought we knew, and looking thru adult eyes knowledge we partially learned as children. I never thought I would be so immersed in a learning process on my religion. I loved learning, loved questioning, and loved analyzing all aspects of Judaism.”
Linda Lipson – 2010 Melton Graduate – Former Melton Chair

“I enjoyed Melton immensely. I grew up Orthodox but I live as a Conservative Jew since I got married. I found Melton very rewarding because I learned things about my religion I never knew about. I loved the give and take; I found it very exhilarating.”
Shirley Brodsky – 2010 Melton Graduate
