Lawrence Jewish Community Congregation (LJCC) is seeking a dynamic and creative educator to facilitate Moving Traditions’ Kulam program.
Kulam is a “plug-and-play” Hebrew High School curriculum that promotes shleimut (individual wellbeing), chesed (connection), and tzedek (just action) for Jewish high school students.
Kulam, meaning “everyone,” is a program that offers a series of approximately 90-minute, experiential, curricular sessions designed for Jewish educators to use in a regular Hebrew High setting. Each session features dialogue prompts, games, Jewish texts, and other activities that focus on a specific area of social/emotional learning that resonates with teens and helps them learn to relate to and communicate with one another. Kulam aims to equip Jewish teens to engage in dynamic and authentic relationships in order to think reflectively, act courageously, and develop healthy and caring communities.
The position at the LJCC is a unique, paid opportunity. The LJCC is searching for “enthusiastic and passionate adults of all ages and backgrounds” who would be able to spend two hours every three weeks (on Sunday afternoons) working with a small group of Jewish teens.
This program will be held at the LJCC, 917 Highlands Drive, Lawrence KS 66064. Staff are hoping to begin this program in mid-April 2023, and they are looking for an educator that can commit to this school year, as well as the 2023-2024 school year.
Applicants should send their resume and cover letter to with the subject line “Kulam Educator.”
The Lawrence Jewish Community Congregation is an unaffiliated, lay-led community and the only full-service congregation in the Lawrence-area.
