A simple question any company should be able to answer is "Why work for them?" At the Orthodox Union the answer is simple. Each and every day, countless Jewish individuals around the world are positively impacted by our array of religious, youth, social action, educational, public policy and community development services, programs and activities. So why work at the OU? It's simple. Commute Local. Impact Global.

We are the center of innovation for Jewish life and learning – preparing rabbis, cantors, leaders in Jewish education, Jewish nonprofit professionals, pastoral counselors, and scholars to apply their knowledge, commitment, vision, and expertise to strengthen and transform the Jewish community and larger world. We are the largest Jewish seminary in North America and the academic, spiritual, and professional leadership development center of Reform Judaism. Our students and alumni are leading a Jewish renaissance in North America, Israel, and around the globe as leaders in synagogues, schools, Hillels, hospitals, camps, the military, and Jewish organizations worldwide. Our faculty are internationally recognized for their teaching, research, and mentorship. Our Klau Library, American Jewish Archives, museums, and scholarly publications preserve and disseminate our heritage. Cutting-edge scholarship applicable to contemporary society emanates from our research institutes, centers, and projects. Our campuses in Cincinnati, Jerusalem, Los Angeles, and New York are vital centers for educational and cultural outreach to those of all faiths and backgrounds.

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.
