Job Description:
Director of Jewish Education and Ritual Leadership
Hillel International
Role Overview
Center for Jewish and Israel Education
The Center for Jewish and Israel Education at Hillel International
is a team dedicated to supporting Jewish college students on a
pathway toward Jewish adulthood. We envision students as ready to
make life choices informed by Jewish values, experience belonging
and connection in Jewish community, confident in crafting Jewish
experiences for themselves & their peers, and eager to find their
next steps in Jewish life. We support, train, and provide resources
for campus professionals to guide their students along that
journey. Our three pillars are Cohort Learning, Educator
Development, and Movement Culture.
We envision a world in which Hillel is the central meeting point
for inspired Jewish and Israel education including a broad range of
experiences of Jewish belonging and connection. In line with the
best practices of education and the deepest wisdom of Jewish
thought, we hold ourselves to an approach that centers authentic
inquiry, multivocality, and personal reflection. When we do this
well, we embody an approach to the rhythms of Jewish life and
ritual that resonates with emerging adult learners and welcomes
every student to meaningfully explore their relationship to the
ritual manifestations of our tradition.
The Director of Jewish Education and Ritual Leadership will develop
new initiatives focused on enhancing staff and student connection
and skills for ritual leadership, especially Shabbat. This Director
will hold a large and ambitious portfolio including ownership of an
exciting area of growth as well as other educational and leadership
interventions within our broader portfolio of Jewish and Israel
education.

Time Zones and Workplace
While Hillel International's headquarters are in Washington DC, we
are a remote team, open to hiring anyone based in the United States
with eligibility to work in the United States. We have a flexible
work schedule, which aims to support our employees in maintaining
maximally successful professional and personal lives. That said, we
expect our employees to keep regular hours that are mutually agreed
upon by the employee and their supervisor. While this position is
remote, there are semi-regular in-person gatherings, trainings, and
conferences that we expect our team to fully participate in.
Regular travel is an expected part of this job.
A note for current Hillel professionals: Current campus
professionals may apply, and if a current Hillel professional is
the finalist, we will work with them and their campus/supervisor to
navigate a smooth transition on a mutually agreeable timeline. We
are prepared to share time and resources during the transition so
that a field colleague can wrap up their work on campus as they
transition to a position at the SIC. We are open to considering
other options that best support your campus while working towards
filling this important role for the Hillel Movement as a whole.
Reporting Line
The Director of Jewish Education and Ritual Leadership reports to
the Associate Vice President of Jewish Education, Danielle Kranjec,
and will work collaboratively with other members of the Jewish
Education, Community, & Culture Department.
