Our Melton & More faculty shape the lives of our learners by creating powerful spaces for inquiry, discovery and connection. They design courses using centuries old sacred texts and teachings and transform them into relevant wisdom that serves as inspiration to help navigate our modern world. We encourage you to get to know them and join them for a powerful experience of Jewish learning.
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks (z”l) once shared:
“Teachers open our eyes to the world.
They give us curiosity and confidence.
They teach us to ask questions.
They connect us to our past and future.
They’re the guardians of our heritage.
The influence of good teachers stays with us.
They are the people who really shape our life."
