Nurturing Unity as We Build Community
Melton is on a mission to strengthen Jewish community and cultivate unity through its premier educational experiences where learners worldwide seek a greater connection to their Judaism and to one another. Join us!
For four decades, Melton has inspired learners from around the world at all levels of religious engagement to better understand their Jewish selves. But Melton's impact goes further: we nurture unity and build community through Jewish learning.
With innovation at its core, Melton continues to expand and evolve to meet the needs of today's Jewish learners, offering unparalleled educational opportunities and immersive travel experiences. Specifically, over the last year and a half, and as a result of transitioning programs online, Melton's learnership has surged, adding 1,000 new learners to its global community of 5,000 learners from 175 communities in 14 countries. Curious Jews from across the world seek out Melton's renowned educational options. During a time of isolation and dissonance, Melton forms bonds that transcend geographic, denominational and generational lines.
