Senior Rabbi 

Temple Beth El, a 102 year old Conservative Congregation is seeking an experienced full-time/Flex-time Rabbi for our senior congregation. While the position includes the normal range of rabbinic responsibilities, our smaller all-adult congregation requires less time than a larger synagogue might. Therefore, we are offering this as a flex-time position. The Rabbi needs to be present only 2-3 shabbatot per month. The synagogue might also offer time off for the Rabbi to spend Pesach with his/her family, spend extended time in Israel or another locale. The Rabbi would be needed only 2-3 days per week in the office. General responsibilities include pastoral work (funerals, shiva visits, visits and calls to the home-bound, hospital visits, etc.), work on synagogue programs, teaching 1-2 classes weekly and engagement with all of our members. The Rabbi would NOT necessarily be required to live in the community. The synagogue would be accepting of a Rabbi who drives to the synagogue on Shabbat or shabbat provisions will be made for a Rabbi to stay over on shabbat/holidays. While we still maintain daily morning and evening minyanim, these are handled by the Ritual Director and are not necessarily part of the Rabbi’s responsibilities. Temple Beth El is a cozy, warm and inviting synagogue. We truly do function as one big happy family. We are seeking a strong and creative rabbinic leader with initiative to work with our professional team of Cantor, Ritual Director, Executive Director and dedicated lay leadership. While we welcome all candidates, this is a particularly good opportunity for a Rabbi who is approaching retirement and would like additional family time, or a recently retired Rabbi who still would like to teach and engage with the most enjoyable parts of the rabbinate. The synagogue is prepared to be flexible and creative in creating the right package for the right Rabbi! Salary: $80,000.00-$100,000.00 annual with benefits.
