Hoping to eliminate stereotypes about Jewish people — they all subsist on gefilte fish and bagels with lox, for example — the Spertus Institute has put together a multimedia presentation that includes historical objects, modern art, and film in its survey of prejudice. Spertus dispels clichés while exploring where they originated, as well as why they've stuck around for so long. Jews and goys alike are welcome. An added bonus is that you might be able to score some quality kosher nosh at the Wolfgang Puck on-site café.
