Congregation Beth Chaim Competitors

Since our founding in 1825, B’nai Jeshurun (BJ) has been at the forefront of the American Jewish experience. As we approach our third century, our vision is focused on the spiritual work of transformation and on the creation of a Jewish path that is authentic, profound, and helps all members of our community seek and live their purpose to the fullest. Our spiritual leaders and our approximately 1,800 member households share a vision of a diverse, dynamic, and welcoming community that offers many paths to Jewish religious life. Our unfolding vision for life after the pandemic imagines a dynamic mix of in-person and virtual prayer, learning, and programming that is accessible to all seekers wherever they are. As such, our staffing model is evolving to build and deliver this unique offering with excellence and care. B’nai Jeshurun is committed to creating a staff culture and congregational community that is accessible, inclusive, and equitable. In particular, we have been on a journey over the past several years to understand the history and impact of racism in America, within the American Jewish community, and within the BJ congregation and staff in particular. We seek to build a community and staff that reflects and celebrates the diversity of America, as well as of the Jewish community, and are looking for team members who want to be part of our ongoing learning, and to contribute to it.

At Temple Israel, we live Judaism together through discovery, dynamic spirituality, and righteous impact. We acknowledge, welcome, and honor each individual in our community for who they are. We celebrate our community’s diversity in personal identities and lived experiences.

Founded in 1845 as the first Reform Jewish Congregation in New York City, Temple Emanu-El is among the largest Jewish Houses of Worship in the world. We continue to build upon the legacy of leadership and the timeless values of Jewish tradition as we strive toward a more just, ethical and compassionate world. Temple Emanu-El offers a robust religious school program for children of all ages, a first-rate nursery school, the Bernard Museum of Judaica, the Stettenheim Library, a range of community events through the Streicker Center, and more. In addition, our Tikkun Olam Committee and Philanthropic Fund support a wide range of humanitarian, educational, and cultural causes, as well as initiatives that advance Reform Judaism and strengthen our connection to Israel. We are a community of warmth and awareness where every individual matters. We embrace our diverse membership and offer all who comprise it a meaningful life grounded in Judaism. We commit our spiritual, intellectual, physical, and financial resources to strengthen our community today for a vital tomorrow.
