Congregational Rabbi 

Congregation Beth Israel is a historic, 120 year old Modern Orthodox congregation located in Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans, Louisiana. An historic OU-affiliated congregation, we moved into a new, beautiful facility following Hurricane Katrina. Now our congregation of young families, seniors, those whose families have been members for generations, and recent additions to our community seeks a rabbinic family with a warm, dynamic spiritual leader, community builder, and teacher to serve as our next rabbi. Congregation Beth Israel is a true Southern-style haimish shul, and we welcome our rabbinic families as extensions of our own. We currently have approximately seventy full member “units,” both individuals and families, of all ages and levels of observance. We also have nearly as many associate members, families with ties to Beth Israel but who primarily attend other synagogues. As we enter our next phase, we are focused on energizing this existing membership as well as continuing the slow and sustainable growth of new families realized over the past few years. Despite our size we are a dynamic congregation. The Congregation has enjoyed evening classes, lunch-and-learns, weekly community kiddush lunches, monthly community Shabbat dinners with engaging speakers, and women’s and Rosh Chodesh programming. Weekly individualized learning between each child with the rabbi, and Shabbat and holiday morning children’s classes and programming enhance the shul experience for our younger generation. Areas of Responsibility: Halachic Life & The Pulpit, Teaching & Classes & Programming & Community Engagement. Full-time with benefits. Please remit resumes and any questions to the Rabbinic Search Committee chair and immediate past president Bradley Bain via his email address, [email protected], or by contacting the synagogue office. https://www.bethisraelnola.com.
