The Liberal Jewish Congregation Amsterdam is looking for a RABBI (m/f)

PRACTICAL

• Full-time, in principle; the position requires flexibility.

• International applicants actively sought.
• The rabbi is expected to settle in or near Amsterdam.

After more than 30 years with the congregation, one of our rabbis is retiring. This opens the way for a new rabbi, who will work alongside our other rabbi and the rabbinic team of the largest Progressive Jewish congregation in the Netherlands.

We are looking for a rabbi who inspires and connects. A spiritual leader who feels at home in a congregation where religion, education, pastoral care, encounter and social engagement are inseparably connected.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A RABBI

• With an ordination from a seminary recognised by the EUPJ/ERA, or equivalent standing;
• With a good command of Hebrew and of the liturgical tradition of the Liberal Jewish congregations;
• Who is rooted in the liberal Jewish tradition and endorses the principles of the World Union for Progressive Judaism;
• With a vision of Jewish education and experience in teaching children, teenagers and adults;
• Who can represent our congregation with conviction and nuance.
