Melton Class: Members of the Tribe

Join us for “Members of the Tribe” taught by Rabbi Marc Gitler. In this short six-session quest, we’ll dive deeply into a fundamental, challenging question: What is the overarching purpose of living Jewishly?” We’ll discuss the responsibilities, pressures, and misconceptions that come with being called “the Chosen People.” Together, we’ll learn the meanings behind rituals like kashrut, symbols like mezuzah, and why Israel matters so much. A deeper understanding of “the Tribe” informs and enriches both the nation’s collective actions as well as individual responses to life’s big questions.  Register here.

We’re grateful to the Ritvo Family Adult Education Fund for making this a reality and offering Temple members a discounted rate. Scholarships are available; please contact Francie Miran for more information.

Stay tuned for more information on upcoming courses following this preview: 8-10 week sessions in the fall and spring, plus a January minimester.
