Senior Rabbi/Rabbinic Couple
Full Time (Part time applications will be considered)
Competitive salary including family house
After 20 years of Rabbi Dr Harvey and Rebetzen Vicki Belovski’s dedicated service, Golders Green United Synagogue (GGS) is looking to recruit an outstanding new Senior Rabbi/Rabbinic Couple.
We are seeking to recruit a dynamic, charismatic and inspirational Senior Rabbi/Rabbinic Couple with a passion to drive and implement a strategic vision for our community post Pandemic.
The selected individual/couple should be able to demonstrate their ability to be engaging, inspiring, non-judgmental and hard-working with a love of community. They would be expected to immerse themselves at the heart of the community and engage with all members across the entire community with warmth, empathy, and enthusiasm, to understand the needs of our diverse community and to be able to cater for their pastoral, spiritual and educational requirements.
The past decade has seen an extraordinary regeneration of the community, with the opening of Rimon Jewish Primary School in 2012, which has, and continues to attract young families to the area. In 2015, GGS appointed Rabbi Sam and Rebetzen Dr Hadassah Fromson with a specific responsibility for building a warm and welcoming environment for young families and young adults.
Following a six-month building project and a remarkable fundraising effort, the Grade II listed Shul building, which opened in 1922, has been extensively renovated to create additional and much-needed spaces for our enhanced programming.
This is a role which will excite and challenge. It offers huge potential to grow the community sustainably and influence its strategic development, and to make a lasting contribution to a community that has consistently welcomed change and opens its arms to new ideas and initiatives.
For an informal confidential conversation about the positions, please contact:

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
