Programs & Events
At Spertus Institute, we believe that there are many ways to understand and experience Jewish life, religion, traditions, texts, history, and culture. Likewise, there are many ways to learn.
At our core are Degrees & Certificates that provide students the opportunity to connect with Jewish ideas in the service of their personal growth and professional advancement. Along with them, we proudly present programs in an array of formats for participants in Chicago and around the world. These programs are open to all.
Spertus faculty member and Leading Edge COO Mordy Walfish leads this session.
