  • In addition to the weekly videos, what worked best for me is using the accessibility feature in the website and having the computer read me the texts while I take notes – just like being in a live lecture. Sure, it’s about 10-12 hours a week that I have to set aside to study, which isn’t much and I study at my pace. I would definitely recommend this program. It is very enriching, of a high academic quality, and very practical. Finally a degree program with professors that really understand the challenges of Jewish Educators today… and with Israel inside.

Become an Elite Educator

For the dedicated, passionate elite who have not only committed themselves to sharing knowledge, but who wish to climb beyond the everyday challenges of standard Jewish Education at every level, that next step up is now more accessible than ever. The M.A. Jewish Education program offered at the Melton Centre of Jewish Education in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has been designed for educators in both formal and informal frameworks who are interested in Jewish Education and its dialogue with the Social Sciences, Educational Philosophy, and Jewish and Israel Education.

About this course

Along with the study of more general subjects like social sciences, curriculum in Jewish Education, formal and informal education, and leadership in education, the Melton Jewish Education Program also gives students a strong background in areas including contemporary Jewry, teaching traditional Jewish texts, Jewish philosophy, and Israel education.

Without giving up your current position, without extended leaves of absence or loss of work, now you can earn your Masters degree in Jewish Education in just a single year, from anywhere in the world. You’ll have the benefit of an in-depth on-campus intense summer semester with 6 weeks at Hebrew University's Melton Centre in Jerusalem, Israel — one of the few truly respected institutions that offer a high-level degree in Jewish Education. For the other two semesters, your time is your own. Studies will integrate on-site and distance learning elements. You’ll enjoy a structured schedule that helps you achieve your goals, and academic support throughout your studies.
