"Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies" Information


Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies
The College of Jewish Studies, the predecessor of Spertus Institute, was founded in 1924. At the time of its founding, the College was a division of The Board of Jewish Education of Metropolitan Chicago, established with the primary purpose of training teachers and leaders for formal and informal Jewish educational programs. As such, the College was the first American Jewish teacher training school established west of Philadelphia. Its founding president, Dr. Alexander Dushkin, was Superintendent of the BJE and a pioneer in American Jewish education. Dushkin later established the Department of Education at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

In its first years, the College served primarily first generation immigrants. As this generation was succeed by their American born children and grandchildren, the College focused its resources in response to their expanded educational, cultural and professional expectations, without diluting its essential core: the study of Judaism.
