Kol Ami, a small but growing Reconstructionist congregation, is searching for 2 teachers for our Jewish Children’s Educational Program (JCEP) which serves about 25 children between the ages of 6-12 years. JCEP meets in person on Sunday afternoons from 4:30-6:00 PM at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington (UUCA) located at 4444 Arlington Blvd in Arlington, Virginia. The JCEP curriculum is typically divided into two segments: (1) Hebrew and tefilah/prayer, and (2) Judaic subjects such as ethics, Torah, history, and culture. We group children into small classes based on age and abilities.
Our ideal candidate would teach both Judaic studies and Hebrew to our 5-7th graders pre-b'nai mitzvah students, but we would consider splitting Hebrew and Judaic studies. We are also looking for a second Hebrew teacher for Sunday afternoons during our regular class time and/or to tutor students virtually during the week.
We are looking at paying $150 per weekly class, though hourly rate can be commensurate with education and experience. For questions or additional information, please contact Shana Harbour at shanaharbour@verizon.net or Rachel Fleishman at rachel.fleishman@gmail.com. Applications are desired by May 15th.
