Melton Coalition Conference: “Time in Jewish Thought and Education”
The Melton Coalition for Creative Interaction is a joint project of the Melton Research Center of the Jewish Theological Seminary, the Melton Centre for Jewish Education of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and The Melton Center for Jewish Studies of the Ohio State University. Among other activities, the Coalition sponsors a biennial conference on key issues of shared interest to Judaica scholars, scholars of Jewish education and Jewish educational practitioners. The conference venue rotates among the three institutions. Various projects—including publications and educational interventions emanate out of the conferences. The theme of time in Jewish thought creates an opportunity to investigate a major topic in Jewish philosophy, history and religion through the disciplines of Jewish studies as well as through disciplines in the social sciences such as anthropology and social psychology. Time is also central to the practice of Jewish education. Scholars of different fields of Jewish studies can generate a depth of reflection on ideas about time, the Jewish holidays and their development and the ways in which these affect experience and identity. Scholars of Jewish education can provide an analysis of past and current educational practice and the assumptions about Jewish time that this practice embodies.
