The Village Collective is a new community space dedicated to supporting women through all stages of life through groups, events, education, and a collaborative network of professionals. We're officially opening this August, with more programming to be announced soon. You can learn more here: www.villagecollectivechi.com.

As they grow, they are looking to build a small team for a few paid, flexible opportunities on an as-needed basis.

These roles may include:
• Providing on-site support for groups, workshops, and community events
• Greeting participants, helping with setup and logistics, and creating a warm, welcoming environment
• Assisting with educational programming and community initiatives
• For those with extensive infant care experience, there may also be opportunities to provide short-term care for young infants while a parent is in an appointment with a provider in the next room (background check required).

This could be a wonderful fit for a social work, counseling, psychology, nursing, or related graduate student, a newer clinician looking to become more involved in the perinatal mental health community, or another professional who is passionate about supporting women and families. These are support roles, not therapist positions, but they offer the opportunity to be part of a multidisciplinary, collaborative environment.

Most opportunities will be in the evenings or on weekends for a few hours at a time, with the potential to grow as programming expands. The position would be hourly pay of $18-$22 based on experience.

The Karsh Journalism Fellowship equips journalists to report with depth, rigor, and clarity on Jewish issues in the United States and around the world. Fellows participate in three intensive retreats — in Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, D.C. — engaging with leading journalists, scholars, policymakers, and innovators across the arts, media, and business.

As the world’s only journalism fellowship solely dedicated to Jewish topics, the program is resolutely nonpartisan and grounded in the principles of accuracy, independence, transparency, and accountability. Up to ten fellows are selected annually to advance public understanding through uncompromising, high-impact reporting. This is a non-partisan fellowship that is not chiefly concerned with activism. It is for early and mid-career journalists to develop an understanding of how to report in an unbiased way on Jewish issues. Applicants do not need to be Jewish.

Jewish college students are navigating rising antisemitism, increasing polarization, and growing ideological rigidity, often feeling isolated and uncertain about how to engage across difference. Launched by The Bronfman Fellowship in 2024, Campus Commons: Building Bridges with Jewish Wisdom addresses this challenge by empowering students themselves as Campus Commons Connectors- Jewish student leaders driving change on campus. Through a leadership accelerator cohort and local implementation, Connectors develop the skills, relationships, and Jewish grounding needed to foster trust across divides. Campus Commons serves as a powerful intervention in leadership development, creating a network of support that equips Connectors to foster a culture of pluralism and lead with confidence on campus and beyond.

Mentors support Campus Commons students throughout the program as facilitators, near-peer role models, and trusted resources. They are young adults who help students apply bridge-building skills in real-world contexts and support both individual reflection and group learning. We will have up to 120 students split between two cohorts of 60, with a mentor team of 6 for each cohort.

Overview

Sinai Synagogue seeks an interim or full-time pulpit rabbi to replace our current rabbi, who is retiring after 30 years. This position is a wonderful opportunity for a rabbi who wants to join and lead a passionate, tight-knit congregation with a high degree of member involvement. We are eager to support a caring, wise, and flexible leader who is also a good listener—somebody who is excited about helping to shepherd our diverse, engaged community. While a majority of our congregants identify as Conservative, reflecting our synagogue’s historical affiliation with the Conservative movement, some members identify as Reform, Reconstructionist, Renewal, Traditional, nondenominational, secular, and “just Jewish,” and the personal characteristics and values of our new rabbi are more important to us than any particular denominational affiliation.

We look forward to collaborating with a rabbi who shares our values of inclusion and heartfelt practice and is excited about leading a nonjudgmental “big-tent” community: a congregation of people drawn to Judaism—with a range of backgrounds and practices—who feel that they truly belong, and where everybody has the opportunity to deepen their engagement with our traditions.
