welcome to the Mishpocha: we're glad you're here!
Congregation B'nai Brith Children's School reflects our commitment to a traditional Judaism informed by progressive thought. CBBCS welcomes students from a diverse variety of backgrounds, including traditional and non-traditional families, into our inclusive school community. We strive to create an environment that nurtures our students' sense of who they are as people and as Jews — in a warm environment that welcomes their families as active participants in our Jewish community. Our job, as the staff and teachers of this school, is to prepare our students for an active, joyful Jewish life experience. CBBCS's atmosphere fosters positive Jewish feelings while teaching the basic skills needed to participate in Jewish life. Our students study Jewish holidays, tikkun olam (social and environmental justice), culture, music, arts, prayer, Hebrew and Torah, while creating lasting friendships in a supportive school community. Please scroll down to take a look at some of the photos taken of the school in the past few years to get a sense of who we are.
Looking for a few good mensches
Congregation B’nai Brith’s Children School, a diverse urban non-denominational egalitarian school in Somerville, MA, located in a beautiful 100 year old synagogue, is seeking creative and confident Sunday school Hebrew/Judaica teachers for the 2017-2018 school year.
We are looking for Hebrew/Judaica teachers for grades 2-7, who are enthusiastic, warm, intelligent critical thinkers, excited to convey and interpret their love of Jewish living and learning with our kids. Candidates should delight in working with children, have prior successful teaching experiences, and feel confident running a classroom of intelligent, diverse, and curious students. We're seeking teachers who are excited to develop lessons and activities that engage students in Jewish life and exploration of modern Jewish identity. If you have Jewish camp or youth group experience, and/or enjoy participating in the arts, you are especially encouraged to apply.
All teachers report to the School Principal and our Rabbi/Education Director. We offer competitive compensation, supportive supervision, a fun environment and opportunities for professional development. We look forward to speaking with our new potential teachers, and introducing you to our school! Please email sharona@templebnaibrith.org with a cover letter and a resume if interested in learning more.
