Ohr Kodesh is hiring a middle school teacher for Sunday mornings 9:00-12:00 and/or Wednesday afternoons 4:15-6:15. The ideal candidate will share enthusiasm about Jewish learning and guide students through post bnei mitzvah-level encounters with prayer, Jewish history and text. Curricular resources, planning assistance will be in plentiful supply. This is a salaried position that starts at $36/hour and is commensurate with experience.
On Sunday mornings, the first hour of the day is spent accompanying students to morning minyan.
We encourage our students to delve deeply into important topics, to become critical thinkers and active participants within their Jewish journeys. Hebrew instruction and regular tefillah give students the tools to lead services and gain competency in text study and prayer.
Ohr Kodesh is a Conservative synagogue, just outside of Washington DC, facing East/West Hwy. Local bus service provides direct access to Silver Spring, Friendship Heights, Bethesda, and Wheaton Metro stations.
Interested? Send a resume and cover letter to Wilhelmina Gottschalk, Religious School Director, wgottschalk@ohrkodesh.org.
