Director of Programming of the Soloway Jewish Community Centre reports that enrollment surpassed the most optimistic expectations. With an enrollment of 50 students, a second set of classes had to be opened. There is an evening class to accommodate people who work, and a class for those who want to study during the day. The classes are taught by two rabbis in the community. Rabbi Ely Braun, whose background is orthodox and Rabbi Steven Garten of Temple Israel, whose background is in reform Judaism. Both rabbis have masters of education degrees and broad experience in adult education. The new director is Gerry Cammy.

The Melton classes are held at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre, a central meeting place for Jews of all religious orientations, as well as the location for many Jewish agency meetings, community gatherings, concerts, and other varieties of Jewish learning.
