The natural choice for your first seminar with Melton—even if you have visited Israel
previously—providing new depth and understanding. The seminar takes participants along
a 3,800-year timeline of the land and its narratives, from the world of Abraham to contemporary
Israeli society. A variety of texts serves to bring the sites alive and provide an opportunity to
explore pivotal moments in the history of the Jews in the land of Israel.
BIBLICAL IN-SITES
March 9-19, 2015
The seminar begins on the Monday after Purim, so you may want to consider coming in early
to celebrate, or simply joining us for the seminar itself. This is a one-of-a-kind experience for
all those who love Biblical stories, from Avraham through to the Megillot! Almost all our
sessions are held at the sites related to in the text, so that reading the text on site takes
on a whole new meaning.

Iberia served as the setting for one of the most remarkable chapters in Jewish history: that of
Sefarad, embracing tragedy and creative powers alike. The great poets, thinkers and statesmen
of Sefarad help raise critical questions for us: when do the Jewish people flourish? What ties do
we have as a minority with the surrounding cultures? What happens when Jews are themselves
a majority culture? The seminar explores these issues, both in southern Spain and in Israel.

At the start of the twentieth century, Poland's Jewish community was the greatest in
the world. This seminar visits a number of pivotal locations in Poland and Israel, tracing
the outlines of a critical chapter in the history of the Jewish people through to the Shoah and
considering its central role in the development of the Yishuv (Palestine) and the
State of Israel.

Melton’s newest seminar allows for an engagement in Jewish and Italian history and culture
as we explore this most fascinating Jewish community, 2,000 years after the exile by Rome. For
centuries, during both Imperial times and the Renaissance, Italy was at the center of European
development, and even until the Second World War modern Italy offered its Jews a place in its
burgeoning political life. The seminar examines Jewish life inside Europe’s greatest empire.
