A small, warm congregation of 90 families seeks a part-time rabbi (roughly 20 hours per week). Responsibilities include leading Shabbat services twice a month, High Holiday services, teaching adult education, providing pastoral care, and officiating at lifecycle events.

We are a lay-led, spiritually creative community that values meditation, nature-based practice, and learning. We offer a collaborative board and a supportive membership.

• Rabbinic ordination from a recognized seminary
• Comfort leading creative, participatory worship
• Pastoral sensitivity

• Experience in small-congregation settings
• Training in meditation or spiritual direction
• Familiarity with Jewish Renewal

Congregation Ohr HaMidbar is a Renewal community of roughly 140 households outside Santa Fe. Our services are musical, participatory, and long — a typical Shabbat morning runs close to three hours and nobody seems to mind.

We draw from an unusually wide geographic area; some members drive ninety minutes. That shapes everything: we meet less often than a suburban congregation but gather for longer, and much of our adult learning happens over video between gatherings.
