Founded in 1919, the Beach Hebrew Institute is one of Toronto’s five oldest continuously operating synagogues. Nestled in the Beach community, our Hebrew School has evolved alongside the needs of our families—from a single class 15 years ago, to four thriving classes serving 33 students today, plus a newly re-established adult Alef-Bet.

Family & Community Engagement

·Lead five one-hour Family Services during the High Holidays serving 200+ participants in total.

·Plan and execute holiday programs—e.g., LatkeFest entertainment at Chanukah, Purim shpiel, Tot Shabbat, Sukkah build kickoff, and off-site field trips

·Coordinate visits with local TDSB classes and other community outreach initiatives.

·This is a part-time role running from September/October through May, with additional hours required around Jewish holidays.

·Competitive hourly rate, commensurate with experience.

·Potential to take on additional responsibilities in bar/bat mitzvah tutoring, adult education, or broader synagogue programming, based on interest and availability.

·Supportive, collegial environment with potential mentorship from existing staff.

·Author and maintain lesson plans and supply inventories.

·Procure educational and event materials within budget.

·Collaborate with the existing Teacher during a transition year.

·Report to the Synagogue Board and liaise with the Cantor on b’nei mitzvah tutoring opportunities (in-person and Zoom).

Qualifications & Attributes:

·Teaching certification an asset, but not required

·At least of three years of experience teaching Hebrew and Judaica in a synagogue or Jewish school setting.

·Proven ability to engage children, adults, and families with ruach and creativity.

·Solid grounding in Torah, Jewish holidays, lifecycle rituals, and Hebrew language pedagogy.
