/in Uncategorized /by Marisa Goffman✡️ Are you an experienced rabbi and/or Jewish educator with a vision for transformative learning? Beth Jacob Congregation in the Twin Cities is seeking a Director of Congregational Learning to lead Limudim, our innovative, multi-generational education program. We’re looking for someone passionate about creating meaningful Jewish learning experiences for all ages—from our vibrant children’s programs and b’nai mitzvah preparation to adult education.
