Job description

SAR High School is a mission-driven, co-educational, Modern Orthodox Jewish high school committed to student-centered learning in a challenging and supportive environment.
The SAR High School Beit Midrash is a vibrant center for student and adult learning, a highly accessible resource center and, at the same time, a friendly gathering place.
Our six full-time Beit Midrash Fellows learn each day in the Beit Midrash which is, physically and philosophically, the center of SAR High School. Judaic studies classes utilize the Beit Midrash and the Fellows for small group learning. Each fellow is also closely mentored by Judaic Studies faculty members. The Fellows also help design and implement co-curricular activities which promote ruach, chesed, Medinat Yisrael, and SAR's annual theme.
There are two tracks to the fellows program, a professional track and a chinuch track. The professional track is for those looking to meaningfully spend a year in the world of Chinuch before the next steps in their professional career. The Chinuch track is for those thinking about entering into the world of Chinuch. Ten members of our current faculty began their teaching career as Beit Midrash Fellows.
The fellowship follows the SAR High School calendar year. The hours are from 8:00 AM (Tefillah) until 4:50 PM, Monday-Thursday and until 1:10 PM on Fridays. One evening a week Fellows learn for forty minutes after school with students. Fellows in graduate school will have some flexibility scheduling classes on one afternoon a week. The Fellows program has a stipend of $30,000.
The day is split between time spent learning/teaching with students under the guidance of classroom teachers and time devoted to furthering the fellows' own individual learning and group learning directed by Rabbi Shmuel Hain. The Beit Midrash Fellowship also features a weekly educational leadership seminar with the outstanding administration and faculty of SAR.
