Rabbi Zalman Rothschild
Building on the first two years of Melton studies, the Rachel Wasserman Scholars Curriculum offers a deeper examination of selected Jewish texts, from Biblical to modern. This course brings us the Egyptian narrative of our people from “Pharaoh’s Paranoia” and “Moshe’s CV” to the dramatic story of our rescue and survival in the wilderness during “Into the Sea” and “Manna from Heaven.” Leadership, bravery, faith and doubt define some of the critical moments in these texts and offer us a rich backdrop for challenging our own assumptions.

Please note: the Melton Graduate Program is open only to graduates of the two-year Melton program.
