Why is Living Wisdom Ideal for Learners Today?

Modern Jews are searching for meaning in their lives and wondering if Judaism has what they are searching for.

Living Wisdom: Engaging, Soulful Jewish Learning addresses life’s greatest challenges by exploring and engaging with millennia of Jewish wisdom. Melton’s Living Wisdom courses provide a compelling, sophisticated Jewish learning experience that will help learners personally connect with both foundational and advanced Jewish concepts no matter their background or level of knowledge.

 

Who is Living Wisdom for?

  • Learners of all ages can take a deep dive into classic Jewish practices coupled with modern, contemporary applications and interpretations.
  • Learners beginning their journeys in adult Jewish learning will benefit from the essential qualities of each course, laying a solid foundation for future learning opportunities.
  • Jews who’ve recently joined our community will find every course chocked full of new ideas to explore.
  • Grandparents and elders can reflect on all these concepts and how they wish to transmit them to the next generation.
  • Caretakers and those dealing with grief may find comfort in the course Love, Loss and Wisdom, which identifies Jewish ways to confront pain, seek consolation and explore ideas on the afterlife.
  • Those on a spiritual or theological search will find so much to think about in every course and might choose to explore specific ideas related to God and prayer in either OMG, Can You Believe?! or Pray it Forward.
