GOAL: $30,000
Family and Friends, I've been a student, traveler, volunteer, a member of the executive board, and Chair of the Development Committee. Melton has allowed me to pass Jewish knowledge on to future generations. Your generosity will allow more students to experience what Melton has to offer.
18
GOAL: $6,100
I am an active and committed Melton Board member. I take many Melton + courses and get so much out of the longer ones—Modern Living, Maintaining Balance, and now Cornerstones of Jewish Identity. The highlight has been the three travel seminars – to Mexico City, Cuba, and, most recently, Israel – learning and travel experiences unlike any other.
