Melton program
A few weeks ago I went to an open house for the Florence Melton school, a Jewish adult-education program. I've heard good things about the program and I enjoyed the (short) sample class that one of the rabbis gave, but I was also concerned that they say you don't need any background to attend.
I shared that concern with my rabbi and asked whether I'm past that already or whether I'd benefit from taking it. He said yes and yes -- that is, I am rather more advanced than that, but there is still significant value to be had. So between that and the fact that the person who will be teaching "my" section of Hebrew this semester is the teacher I don't like, I decided to go for it. First class is the week after next.
(Meanwhile, perhaps I will pursue private tutoring with the teacher I do like.)

I hope that is who I think it is...

The rabbi we've talked about is teaching in the Melton program, so I'll get to study with him this year. (Yay!) Separately, there are several different Hebrew teachers (none rabbis); I liked the one who taught this summer and would consider private study with her. The one who will be teaching Hebrew this fall, though, is one I've had before, and I do not like her teaching style at all. I do not plan to take any more classes from her.
It hadn't occurred to me to ask the rabbi about Hebrew study. Interesting idea.
