Questions and Answers
• Who decides what classes to have? The students in the classes are asked what they would like to learn. We try to offer inspiring classes with excellent teachers.
• I am a beginner. Where should I start? There are many classes that fit everyone who wants to learn. Of course, a great place to start would be the Melton School. Most classes have no pre-requisites.
• Do I need to know Hebrew? Hebrew is not a pre-requisite for any CAJL or Melton class. Although through CAJL you can learn to read, understand and speak Hebrew.
• Will I have to buy a lot of books? In most classes there is no need to buy any books. Where a book is required for your class text, it would be one that you will enjoy owning.
