What is a Jewish Educator?

A Jewish Educator is a professional who teaches and facilitates learning about Jewish religion, culture, history, and traditions. They may work in schools, synagogues, community centers, camps, or other educational settings, teaching people of all ages. Jewish Educators create curricula, lead classes or workshops, and often organize events that foster Jewish identity and community engagement. Their work is essential in passing on Jewish values and knowledge to future generations.

What are some common challenges Jewish Educators face when engaging students from diverse backgrounds?

Continuous professional development and peer collaboration also help educators address these challenges and enhance their teaching strategies.

Job description

Director of Jewish Education & Youth Engagement

JCC of Stamford, 1035 Newfield Ave, Stamford, CT 06905

The Stamford JCC, in partnership with our newly integrated site at Temple B'nai Chaim (TBC), is seeking an energetic and visionary educational leader. This role oversees our youth education programs across two sites: the "J at The J" program at the Stamford JCC and the newly reimagined Religious School at Temple B'nai Chaim.

We believe that Jewish learning must be undeniably fun. Our aspirational goal is to create a magnetic environment where children and families run to our programming rather than having to be pulled in. By meeting people where they are and engaging them in a vibrant, joyful manner, you will ensure they walk away proud to know more and have shared tangible, positive experiences. This customer-obsessed approach to education is our primary strategy for delivering more, better, and exceptional experiences and value to our members.

Reporting Structure & Time Allocation
  • Reports directly to the JCC's Associate Executive Director.
  • Time Split: Approximately 60% dedicated to JCC programming (including summer camp and "J at The J") and 40% dedicated to TBC congregational education, partnering closely with Lead Rabbi Josh Strom.
Key Responsibilities
  • Curriculum & Classroom Leadership: In coordination with the Senior Clergy, create and implement Religious School curriculum for grades K-7. Design and implement a robust post‑B'nai Mitzvah program for our 8th-12th graders, including our Madrichim Program.
  • Staff Development: In cooperation with the Senior Clergy, recruit and supervise teachers and madrichim. Coach teachers on classroom management skills, observe classes and provide feedback.
  • Summer & Year‑Round Engagement: Serve as a key educational leader during the summer months, taking on an active programming or leadership role in Day Camps at the J or Summer Fun at the J to ensure seamless, year‑round youth engagement.
  • Family Communication: Communicate regularly with parents regarding their family's experiences, the Religious School curriculum and programs and provide clear guidelines of grade level and school expectations.
  • Administration: Prepare in cooperation with the Senior Clergy and present the annual school budget and maintain the budget on a monthly basis. Prepare payroll information for teachers and submit it for processing.
Minimum Qualifications
  • Proven experience in Jewish educational leadership, curriculum design, and staff supervision.
  • A highly energetic, customer‑obsessed approach to family engagement, with a proven ability to make learning aspirational and fun.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, multi‑site environment with a flexible, community‑first mindset.
  • Willingness to work a dynamic schedule, including consistent evening and weekend hours, as well as working on Jewish holidays to support services and programs.
Salary

$55,000 - $65,000
