BZBI seeks a dynamic educator who will bring enthusiasm and professional expertise to our 400 household Conservative Jewish community.

BZBI is an urban inclusive, egalitarian, Conservative congregation in the heart of Center City Philadelphia, part of the fabric of Jewish Center City for 175 years.

BZBI welcomes the entire spectrum of Center City’s Jewish community: people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and abilities; interfaith families; people who are single and partnered; people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.

At BZBI, you will be joining a team of creative and energetic professionals committed to collaboration, accountability, and self-development. We value each member of our team as a human being and support one another through life’s challenges and joys. Our staff works shoulder-to-shoulder with dedicated volunteers, and we enjoy deep and meaningful partnerships with other local synagogues and Jewish organizations.
