Since 1921, Hebrew Theological College (HTC) has ordained hundreds of rabbis who have served as rabbis, chaplains and educators in the US, Canada, Israel and throughout the world. The college was formerly on the west side of Chicago, but in 1958, a new classroom and administration building was completed in suburban Skokie and operations in the new location began at once. To this day, the goal of encouraging each student to pursue general knowledge, while providing the best Judaic Studies program possible is the aim of the HTC.
