The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) is the largest institute of adult learning, operating chapters in approximately 300 cities internationally. Courses are taught through interactive dialogue accompanied by textbooks and audio-visual presentations. [1]
A JLI teacher leads students toward fresh thinking about the world. He or she creates an environment that inspires feelings of hope, purpose, meaning, and value. JLI’s teaching is authentic and real. And it is all conveyed in a safe environment that embraces every student.
The Jewish Learning Institute is a branch of Chabad Lubavitch and a division of Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch.
History
The first JLI course, Jewish Mysticism, was piloted in 15 Chabad centers in 1999. The institute expanded annually 15-20 new cities, growing slowly until 2005 when it grew by 40 new cities. The institute currently boasts over 300 centers worldwide.[2]
