7th Gr Hebrew Teacher
7th Grade Co-Teacher, Hebrew School Teacher (2026-2027)
Kerem Shalom in Concord, MA is looking for a 7th grade co-teacher to join our “Hebrew School Reimagined” community. You’d be teaching alongside our current 7th grade teacher, Monday evenings, 6:30-8:00 pm, throughout the school year — dinner at 6:30, class at 7:00 pm, every single week.
The Curriculum
7th grade (Zayin) runs a year-long arc built around one question: what has kept the Jewish people alive for 3,000 years, and what will I do about it? Students move through Jewish history from ancient Israel to the present, building toward that question rather than starting from scratch each week. You’d be co-teaching this curriculum, not designing your own from a blank page — though we welcome ideas and input on how it’s taught.
Responsibilities
- Co-teach the Zayin Judaics curriculum, 24 sessions per academic year
- Collaborate with the Director of Congregational Learning and co-teacher on lesson planning and delivery
- Include 7th grade parents in “Parent Learning Nights” during the year
- Attend 3 faculty meetings/in-services with the DCL (roughly 2-2.25 hours each) — each one compensated with a $125 flat fee, plus dinner
- Create a supportive, inclusive classroom
- Prepare and submit weekly lesson plans
- Update parents on ongoing class progress
Qualifications
- Passion and love for Jewish education
- Experience teaching or facilitating in a Jewish educational setting
- Energetic, engaging teaching style
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills
- Experience teaching 7th graders or teens (preferred, not required)
- Comfortable co-teaching — this is a partnership role, not a solo classroom
Compensation
- $60-80/hour based on experience
- Summer curriculum collaboration time, reimbursed at hourly rate (up to 10 hours)
- Faculty meeting stipend: $125 + dinner per meeting, 3x/year
- Weekly Monday night pizza dinner, every session
About Us
We’re a welcoming, inclusive synagogue committed to Jewish life and spiritual growth. Our work rests on six values: kehillah (community), simchah (joy), k’vod ha-b’riyot (dignity of every person), naaseh v’nishmah (learning by doing), al pi darko (each person’s own path), and avodah she-ba-lev (spirituality).
