Our 600-family egalitarian congregation in Newton is seeking a dynamic senior rabbi to succeed our rabbi of 18 years, who is retiring. The rabbi will serve as spiritual leader, preach and teach, officiate at lifecycle events, and provide pastoral care across all generations.

We are a warm, intellectually curious community with an active Shabbat minyan, a thriving early childhood center, and a strong tradition of lay leadership. The rabbi will supervise a small clergy and program staff and partner closely with the president and board.

• Rabbinic ordination from a recognized seminary
• 5+ years of congregational experience
• Commitment to egalitarian practice and halakhic engagement
• Excellent preaching, teaching, and pastoral skills

• Experience leading a capital or endowment campaign
• Familiarity with the greater Boston Jewish community
• Experience supervising professional staff

Shaarei Tikvah has been part of Jewish life in the Boston suburbs since 1954. We are fully egalitarian, with a strong lay-led daily minyan, a religious school of about 180 children, and an adult learning program that runs year-round.

Our congregation skews younger than most in the area, and families often tell us they joined because of how welcoming the sanctuary feels on an ordinary Shabbat morning rather than on a high-profile holiday. We are in the final year of a capital campaign to renovate our social hall and expand the preschool wing.
