40 & Forward

For 40 years, Melton has brought adults together to explore Jewish wisdom, ask meaningful questions, and deepen their connections to Jewish life. Inspired by inventor and activist Florence Zacks Melton’s vision of engaging, meaningful, and accessible adult Jewish education, we continue to create opportunities for learning and community.

In 2026, we celebrate 40 years since Melton’s first partnership site opened in 1986. This milestone honors the learners and communities who have shaped our journey and inspires our commitment to reach new generations, bring Jewish learning to more communities, and expand opportunities for lifelong learning.

Supporting Melton makes this vision possible and ensures meaningful Jewish education continues to strengthen Jewish life for generations to come.

Together, We Shape the Future.

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.

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.
