Administrative Assistant

Part-time Administrative Assistant, Cleveland Jewish Collective

Cleveland Jewish Collective (CJC) is seeking a part-time administrative assistant who will work closely with the Rabbi and volunteer leaders to support our community, with a focus on communications, volunteer coordination, accounting, and membership data. 

CJC is a young and growing volunteer-driven Jewish community in northeast Ohio. Our membership stretches from Oberlin to Alliance but is concentrated in the near East suburbs of Cleveland. We gather for holidays and Shabbat, using a wide range of modalities, such as: embodied practice, prayer, song, hikes, creating art, learning, cooking and sharing meals together. These spiritual practices help us to nourish our bodies and souls, foster and deepen relationships, and resource ourselves to fight for justice. We regularly engage in justice work, holding rituals at protests, and collaborating with other advocacy and activist groups in Northeast Ohio. 

As a community, we honor our diverse identities, ages, experiences, religious beliefs, and spiritual practices, so that we each can show up as our full selves. We strive for intentional inclusion and are committed to co-creating a space of sacred belonging for those who have been marginalized based on their identities and/or politics.
