Logos of the Jewish Theological Seminary, Melton Center for Jewish Studies at The Ohio State University, and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Melton Centre for Jewish Education.
Thanks to Samuel Melton's vision and generous financial support, The Melton Coalition for Creative Interaction was established in 1993. The Coalition is a partnership between the Melton Centers at The Ohio State University, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and The Jewish Theological Seminary. 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.
