Role
Description – Synagogue Rabbi
Woodside
Synagogue Ahavas Torah (WSAT)
Silver
Spring, MD
Our
Community
We
are a close-knit, diverse, Orthodox synagogue located just outside of
Washington, DC in Silver Spring, Maryland. We consider our home welcoming,
inclusive and tolerant. Our shul has approximately 120 active members and
member families and a growing contingent of young members with children. Our
shul hosts daily morning and evening minyanim, shabbos youth groups, and frequent programming for both men
and women. Our Beit Midrash
is well attended with daily shiurim and learning
groups.
The
shul is situated in a beautiful and historic suburban neighborhood. The greater community has many Jewish
amenities including an Eruv, Mikvah,
kosher restaurants, bakeries, butchers, a Jewish Community Center, Jewish day
schools, a Yeshiva and Yeshiva Gedolah and several
community Kollels.
We
are also proximate to many cultural attractions, such as shopping, theaters and
museums, a short metro ride away from the heart of DC, and we are within an
hour’s
drive to
Baltimore.
Our
Future Rabbi
We
are searching for an energetic part-time Rabbi to help guide our spiritual
development. The successful candidate will have the skills and enthusiasm to
enhance our kehilah, interact with both older and
younger members, and stimulate our learning and synagogue life. Our future
Rabbi is able to poskin shailos,
teach classes at both advanced and introductory levels, deliver a dynamic
Shabbos drasha, as well as provide counseling and
pastoral services.
Given
that our shul membership is Torah observant and worldly, we would prefer a
Rabbi that has both Semicha from a recognized
orthodox Yeshiva and a bachelors or higher graduate degree.
Compensation:
The salary will be competitive for a part-time position commensurate
with qualifications and experience.
