Synagogue Administrator

We are a small, warm, and welcoming Modern Orthodox synagogue just a block from Lake Michigan in Chicago’s Gold Coast. We’re looking for a capable and personable individual to help with the following responsibilities:

• Managing our ShulCloud database

• Handle membership renewal and donations
  

• Depositing checks and classifying receipts and payments

• Preparing our weekly newsletter

• Communicating with members via snail mail, email, and phone

• Coordinating weekly kiddushim and holiday activities

• Ensuring our building is properly maintained and prepared for services 
  

While attendance at services is not required, occasional in-person visits to meet members you primarily interact with remotely would be appreciated.

We hold regular Shabbat services (including a full kosher lunch), a weekly minyan on Sunday and Wednesday mornings, and a brief Friday evening service with seasonal start times. We also hold services on all Jewish holidays.

This role requires being on-site at our building for a half day, Monday through Friday. One off-site weekly work day can be arranged. Friday is especially important for receiving food deliveries for Shabbat and meeting with service providers. Most administrative tasks, including answering the phone, can, on occasion, be done remotely.

We’re ready to hire as soon as we find the right candidate.
