Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership offers dynamic learning opportunities, rooted in Jewish wisdom and culture and open to all. These opportunities are designed to enable personal growth, train future leaders, and engage individuals in exploration of Jewish life. Graduate programs and professional workshops are offered in the Chicago area, in select locations across North America, and through distance learning. Public programs — including films, speakers, seminars, concerts, and exhibits — are offered at the Institute’s Michigan Avenue facility, in the Chicago suburbs, and online. Spertus strives to offer thought-provoking content with real-world application, unparalled resources, and a welcoming environment that encourages people to connect in an open exchange of ideas. This results in meaningful, important opportunities for personal and professional growth for constituents and communities. __________________ In 2007, an innovative new Spertus building—designed by Chicago’s Krueck + Sexton Architects—was opened at 610 S. Michigan Avenue in the heart of Chicago’s historic academic and cultural corridor. This award-winning building, which serves as the main Spertus campus, features state-of-the-art classroom, theater, exhibition, and library spaces, plus collections’ storage for art, archives, books, music, and film. Spertus Institute is a partner in serving our community, supported by the JUF/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago.
