**DIRECTOR OF CONGREGATIONAL LEARNING**

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

**WHO WE ARE**

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. We are truly a neighborhood _shul_, building a community that is caring, connected, and fulfilling. 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.

- Brit Mitzvah Program, including supervising a team of tutors, monitoring progress of individual students, and leading family-education programming that builds a sense of community and group cohesion among each year’s Brit Mitzvah cohort.
- Supervise Teen Programs Coordinator and ensure youth have ample opportunities for informal education and engagement.
- Collaborate with Director of Early Childhood Education to ensure families experience a smooth transition between our Preschool and other community opportunities.

- Collaborate with clergy and volunteer leaders to develop an inspiring and creative vision for Adult Education.
- Collaborate with rabbis, staff, and volunteers to plan and implement programming for lectures, scholar-in-residence weekends, shabbatons and other special events.
