Melton Program
The Florence Melton Adult Mini-School (FMAMS)
FMAMS introduces learners to a broad spectrum of Jewish knowledge through an integrated, sequential course of study, in an atmosphere of warmth, respect, and understanding. Classes meet once a week, thirty weeks a year for two years. Each session consists of two one-hour classes, with a break for refreshments and informal discussion.
