The Purposes of Jewish Living
Purposes explores the big questions from a variety of perspectives, questions such as: Why are we here? Why do people suffer? What happens after we die?
The Rhythms of Jewish Living
Rhythms covers the Jewish life cycle and calendar. This is a course for adults – it will not be a repeat of Sunday school. And no matter whether you attended Sunday school or even day school, you will learn quite a bit.
YEAR 2
The Dramas of Jewish Living Through the Ages
Dramas probes themes relevant to Jewish life today across time and throughout the Jewish world. Themes include assimilation, community, anti-semitism, and memory.
The Ethics of Jewish Living
Ethics explores the ethical issues of interpersonal relationships, sexuality, aging, death, family, and community using Torah, Talmud, and classical and modern commentaries.

ENROLLMENT POLICY:
Students are enrolled on a first-come, first-served basis. Once a class is filled, additional students will be placed on a waiting list. If the waiting list reaches the size of a full class, another section will be opened and those students will be contacted and automatically enrolled. If there aren't enough students to fill another section, those on the waiting list will be the first to be invited to enroll the following year.
TUITION REFUND POLICY:
The Portland Melton program budgets for a full fiscal year, which entails faculty and administrative commitments based on the number of registered students. Those commitments remain even if some students drop out. In consequence, the following tuition refund policy applies to all students registered in the Portland Melton program.
Core Classes:
If circumstances necessitate withdrawal after August 31, through the first class meeting, refunds will be issued less a service fee of $50 per course. Up until the third class, one-half of tuition is refundable. No refund will be issued after completion of the third class session.
Graduate Classes:
Graduate classes only run with a minimum enrollment of six students. If a class is cancelled, Melton will reimburse the full tuition. No refund will be issued after the class begins.
Each prospective student must read and accept the Tuition Refund Policy in order to successfully complete registration.
I have read the Tuition Refund Policy above and agree to pay the Portland Florence Melton Adult Mini School the full amount of my yearly tuition due, regardless of whether I do or do not remain a Melton student for the entire year. I have had the opportunity to discuss the policy with the Melton staff and fully understand the refund policy of the program.
INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY:
Melton follows Portland Public Schools decisions regarding closures. Please check this website after 8:00 a.m. if you're unsure about whether or not classes are cancelled.
