Music Educator in Residence

Congregation Beth Shalom, located in Northbrook, is dedicated to promoting family and community through Limud (study), Tefillah (prayer), and Tzedakah (acts of justice and loving kindness).  Our synagogue is looking to hire a Music Educator-In-Residence who is passionate about Judaism, music and Jewish education.  Successful candidates will seek to foster a love of life-long learning by engaging students through music. 

The Music Educator will work in tangent with the Clergy and Director of Education and is twofold. First, the Music Educator will teach in the Religious School Sunday mornings when school is in session from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. assisting in leading tefillah and visiting individual classes.  There is also the opportunity to work with classes on Tuesdays between 4 and 8 p.m. as well as during Friday night class Shabbat programs throughout the school year.  Second, the Music Educator will design and lead a Saturday morning Shabbat service for children ages 3 to 7 as well as a Saturday morning “Junior Congregation”-type service for grades 3^rd through 5^th.  These services will take place approximately monthly on different weeks.

This is a great opportunity to help build a growing, vibrant community that values creativity, collaboration, and learning.  Pay is competitive and will depend on the scope of commitment, to be determined in conversation with the Music Educator.
