About Us:

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. While our Hebrew School is an integral part of synagogue life, it operates with a high degree of autonomy, balancing tradition with innovation.

• Teach up to four Sunday student classes (ages K–Bar/Bat Mitzvah).
• 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, Sukkah build kickoff.

Position Details:

• This is a part-time role running from September/October through May, with additional hours required around Jewish holidays.
• Salary range: $50-$80/hr., commensurate with experience.
• Supportive, collegial environment with mentorship from existing staff.
