Abraham Joshua Heschel School is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

The Abraham Joshua Heschel School is seeking to hire a cohort of Heschel Fellows to meet our unusual staffing needs in the 2020-2021 school year. Heschel Fellows will assist all divisions, allowing Heschel to meet our students’ and teachers’ needs in light of our smaller class sizes created to minimize the risk of spreading Covid-19. Fellows responsibilities may include rotating into classrooms to provide teachers with planning time and breaks, substituting for faculty absences, and assisting with arrival, dismissal, and hallway monitoring.

Fellows will have excellent opportunities for learning, mentorship, exploration, and growth in a supportive, pluralistic Jewish community. Heschel Fellows will be supervised by Division Heads and participate in all faculty professional development.

This position is a one-semester placement, which begins in late August/early September and ends in January. Heschel fellows will receive a stipend of $15,000 for undergraduates or $17,500 with a bachelors.
