In leading their synagogues and organizations, Jewish Leaders are faced with an increasingly challenging and complex set of responsibilities. State-of-the-art, professional management skills have become imperative.

Kellogg Management Education for Jewish Leaders (KJL) has been created to enable rabbis and other Jewish leaders, across the Jewish spectrum, to acquire and apply these skills to their day-to-day functioning as well as to better achieve their long-term goals.  The program is instructed by senior faculty at the renowned Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.

Kellogg consistently ranks among the best management schools in the world.  Since BusinessWeek debuted its biennial school ratings in 1988, Kellogg has been ranked No. 1 a record five times. Founded in 1908, the Kellogg School is home to a world-class, research-based 160-member faculty closely attuned to the real world of business, government, and nonprofit organizations. Kellogg imparts leadership skills and social responsibility, intellectual depth, experiential learning, and a global perspective in its programs.

The KJL curriculum focuses on the disciplines of leadership and governance, marketing, organizational behavior, and financial management.  Fundraising, conflict resolution, crisis management, and practical metrics are also addressed.
