What is a rabbi?

A rabbi is the spiritual and community leader of a Jewish community. As a rabbi, your duties include performing synagogue services, counseling the local Jewish community, and leading and participating in outreach work throughout the greater community. You often work on an interfaith basis, collaborating with leaders of other faiths to promote causes that affect everyone in your community. There are several different sects of Judaism, including Conservative, Orthodox, and Reform. Depending on which form of Judaism you ascribe to, your role as a rabbi may come with different responsibilities and commitments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a rabbi, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Rabbi, you need deep knowledge of Jewish law, religious texts, and traditions, typically supported by seminary education and ordination (semicha). Familiarity with liturgical software, community management platforms, and educational tools is often required. Outstanding interpersonal skills, empathy, and strong public speaking abilities help build trust and foster engagement within the community. These skills and qualities are crucial for providing spiritual guidance, leading services, and supporting congregants through life's significant moments.

What does a rabbi do?

A rabbi is a Jewish spiritual leader and teacher who is trained in Jewish law, tradition, and scripture. Rabbis guide their communities in religious practices, lead worship services, perform life-cycle ceremonies such as weddings and funerals, and offer spiritual and moral guidance. In addition to teaching and interpreting Jewish texts, rabbis often provide pastoral care and help individuals navigate personal and ethical challenges. Their specific roles can vary depending on the denomination and the needs of their congregation.

What is the difference between Rabbi vs Cantor?

AspectRabbiCantor
CredentialsRabbi ordination (Rabbinical degree)Cantorial certification or cantor training
Work EnvironmentLeading religious services, providing spiritual guidance, teachingChanting, leading prayers, musical performance during services
Industry UsageReligious leadership within synagogues and Jewish communitiesMusical and prayer leadership within Jewish services

While both Rabbis and Cantors serve in Jewish religious settings, Rabbis primarily focus on spiritual leadership, teaching, and community guidance, whereas Cantors specialize in music, chanting, and leading prayers. Both roles require specific training and certifications, but their responsibilities differ significantly within the synagogue environment.

What are some common challenges rabbis face when balancing pastoral duties with administrative responsibilities?

Rabbis often juggle a diverse set of responsibilities, including leading worship, providing pastoral care, teaching, and managing community programs. One common challenge is finding the right balance between spiritual leadership and the day-to-day administrative tasks required to keep a congregation running smoothly. Time management, delegation, and setting clear priorities are essential skills for maintaining this balance. Working closely with synagogue boards, staff, and volunteers helps ensure that both the pastoral and administrative needs of the community are met effectively.

Job description

Belonging and Campus Engagement Coordinator
Center for Jewish Life - Princeton Hillel
Role Overview
The Center for Jewish Life - Princeton Hillel seeks a warm, relational, creative, and highly motivated Belonging and Campus Engagement Coordinator to help more Jewish students experience the CJL as a place of connection, meaning, joy, and belonging.
This new full-time role is central to the CJL's growing vision for student engagement. The Coordinator will focus especially on students who are not yet deeply connected to Jewish life on campus, including first-year students, students on the margins of Jewish community, and those who may feel hesitant to walk into a Jewish space where they assume others already belong.
The ideal candidate will be young in spirit, highly relatable to students, energized by campus life, and skilled at building trust through one-to-one relationships, small-group gatherings, and creative engagement in spaces where students already spend their time. This person will help students form meaningful relationships first, then guide them into CJL experiences such as Shabbat, holidays, learning opportunities, leadership programs, and community gatherings.
The Belonging and Campus Engagement Coordinator will report to Rabbi Gil Steinlauf, Executive Director of the Center for Jewish Life - Princeton Hillel, and will work closely with Marni Blitz and Rabbi Rebecca Galin to translate the CJL's belonging strategy into daily, on-the-ground student engagement. While senior staff provide strategic direction, mentoring, learning, and leadership development, this role will drive implementation, follow-through, student relationship-building, and creative presence across campus.
What You'll Do
Student Engagement and Relationship Building
  • Build authentic one-to-one relationships with Jewish students across campus, with particular attention to first-year students, less-engaged students, and students who may not yet see themselves as part of Jewish life.
  • Meet students where they are, including residential colleges, dining halls, athletic spaces, arts communities, student group settings, and informal campus gathering places.
  • Create low-barrier entry points into Jewish community through coffee meetings, small-group gatherings, peer invitations, and creative touchpoints.
  • Help students move from initial connection toward deeper involvement in CJL programs, Shabbat and holiday experiences, learning opportunities, leadership roles, and ongoing community life.
  • Identify students who may benefit from pastoral, educational, leadership, or peer support, and connect them appropriately with CJL staff.

Belonging-Focused Programming
  • Support the planning and execution of programs that foster connection, inclusion, Jewish joy, and student belonging.
  • Help create small-scale and relational programs that meet students' needs in real time.
  • Partner with student leaders and staff to develop welcoming pathways into major CJL experiences, including Shabbat, holidays, first-year programming, and community-wide gatherings.
  • Assist with outreach, logistics, follow-up, and evaluation for belonging-focused initiatives.
  • Manage the CJL Cafe, including ordering, maintaining, displaying the offerings, and being a consistent presence there to greet students
  • Bring creativity and energy to campus engagement, including pop-up experiences, informal gatherings, and programs outside the CJL building.

Peer Engagement and Student Leadership
  • Strengthen the CJL's peer engagement infrastructure by supporting student connectors, interns, fellows, and volunteer leaders.
  • Help students invite their peers into CJL life in ways that feel natural, personal, and authentic.
  • Support student leaders with follow-through, communication, hospitality, and event execution.
  • Track student engagement patterns and help identify opportunities for deeper connection.
  • Work with staff to ensure that peer engagement efforts align with the CJL's broader mission and strategic priorities.

Communications and Follow-Through
  • Support clear, warm, student-facing communications for engagement programs and belonging initiatives.
  • Help maintain strong follow-up after programs, one-to-one meetings, and student gatherings.
  • Collaborate with staff to ensure that students receive timely invitations, reminders, and personal outreach.
  • Contribute to systems for tracking student engagement, interests, and next steps.
  • Help tell the story of student belonging through brief reflections, impact notes, and program updates when needed.

Staff Collaboration
  • Report to Rabbi Gil Steinlauf, Executive Director of the Center for Jewish Life - Princeton Hillel.
  • Work closely with Marni Blitz, Rabbi Rebecca Galin, and other CJL staff to implement the CJL's belonging and engagement strategy.
  • Participate actively in staff meetings, planning conversations, and student engagement reviews.
  • Coordinate with staff across program areas, including Shabbat and holidays, learning, leadership development, Israel engagement, wellness, and student support.
  • Serve as a bridge between student experience on the ground and the CJL's larger strategic goals.
What You'll Bring to the Job
Qualifications
The ideal candidate will bring many of the following qualities and experiences:
  • Bachelor's degree required.
  • One to three years of relevant experience preferred, including campus engagement, Jewish communal work, student life, community organizing, education, social work, youth work, or related fields.
  • Deep enthusiasm for building Jewish community with college students.
  • Strong relational instincts and comfort initiating conversations with new people.
  • Ability to connect with students from a wide range of Jewish backgrounds, identities, beliefs, and levels of involvement.
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to manage details, follow-through, and multiple projects at once.
  • Creativity, flexibility, warmth, emotional intelligence, and a collaborative spirit.
  • Comfort working some evenings and occasional weekends, especially around Shabbat, holidays, and major student programs.
  • Commitment to pluralistic Jewish community and to the CJL's mission of helping students grow through belonging, learning, inspiration, and service.
  • Familiarity with campus life, Hillel, Jewish student engagement, or residential college environments is a plus.

Personal Qualities
We are looking for someone who is:
  • Warm, approachable, and genuinely curious about students' lives.
  • Energized by informal relationship-building as much as formal programming.
  • Able to notice students who are standing at the edge of community and help them feel seen.
  • Creative about bringing Jewish life beyond the walls of the CJL.
  • Reliable, organized, and strong on follow-through.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving, collaborative, student-centered environment.
  • Passionate about helping Jewish students experience community as accessible, meaningful, and joyful.
What You'll Receive
  • The salary range for this full-time position is $60,000-$65,000, commensurate with experience.
  • The position includes a comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, a retirement plan, life, AD&D, and long-term disability insurance, flexible spending accounts, generous vacation and sick time, and parental leave.
  • The Coordinator will also benefit from high-level professional development in areas such as organizational management, student engagement, data analysis, and experiential Jewish education, with opportunities to learn from innovative organizations and professionals across the Jewish communal field.
  • The position includes mentoring and career coaching, as well as connection to a broad network of colleagues across the Hillel movement. Domestic and international travel opportunities may also be available several times a year, as appropriate and permitted.
