Teach Religious School at Ohr Kodesh Ohr Kodesh Congregation 8300 Meadowbrook Ln Chevy Chase MD 20815
Ohr Kodesh is a dynamic, warm, and growing Conservative synagogue. We attract families from diverse Jewish backgrounds, many seeking a serious, Shabbat-centric, observant, and egalitarian community.
We are looking for Religious School teachers for various grades for the 2026-2027 school year to teach Judaics and Hebrew language. Judaics topics include Torah/weekly parsha, Jewish history, Jewish holidays, and prayer. As we are a Conservative shul, teachers must be comfortable teaching traditional prayer liturgy. At the Alvin Browdy Religious School, we encourage students to delve deeply into important topics, to become critical thinkers, and to be active participants of their Jewish journeys. Hebrew instruction and regular tefillah give students the tools to lead services and gain competency in text study and prayer. Teachers will be expected to plan their own lessons outside of school hours.
Our K-7 Religious School meets on Sundays from 9:00 am-12:00 pm and on Wednesdays from 4:15-6:15 pm. While we prefer teachers who are available both days, we are also open to teachers who can teach on one day or the other. Our school year will start on September 9, 2026, with two staff training sessions in August beforehand. Pay rates begin at $35/hour and are commensurate with experience. Training and support are available to candidates of all experience levels. Ohr Kodesh is located just outside of Washington, D.C., local bus service provides direct access to Silver Spring, Friendship Heights, Bethesda, and Wheaton Metro stations. We offer travel stipends and are open to thinking creatively about travel possibilities.
Interested? Send a resume and cover letter to Lisa Redisch, Director of Education, at [email protected].
