In the last 10 - 15 years, as new housing and commercial development has taken place along River Road and the Hudson County waterfront, we have seen the arrival of a new Jewish population. For many of these people, the practice of Judaism does not require them to follow the traditional model of belonging to a neighborhood synagogue which is a challenge to attract and keep people in the seats.Temple Beth El, wants to reach out to this population and let them know that we can provide them with a warm and friendly Jewish community in their own neighborhood and / or help them to reconnect with their Jewish identity, regardless of their background, place of origin, or level of observance.
We seek a rabbi who can share our vision leveraging our renaissance with the support of a dedicated and growing congregation. More than ever before, we are striving to reflect and address the needs of the diverse, local Jewish community. We are an egalitarian Conservative synagogue that offers traditional services and a variety of activities throughout the year.
Candidate Qualifications:
The ideal candidate will have:
1) Relevant congregational experience.
2) Strong Torah reading, davening, and Hebrew language skills.
3) A solid understanding of Jewish traditions, history, and liturgy and the ability to communicate it to the Temple congregation.
4) A knowledge of a range of melodies to use in davening.
