Rabbi Search: How to Apply

Our rabbi search is now complete; this page documents our search process for historical reference.

This page summarizes the application process for interested candidates.

You may also want to visit our main Rabbi Search page for an overview of our search process and updates about our progress, and the FAQ for more details about the role and our community.

Application Process

We are asking that all applicants review the job description and submit the following:

1. Cover letter including why you believe our congregation is a good match for what you wish to accomplish as a Rabbi
2. Resume (PDF format)
3. 2-minute video
    

The video should answer the question “What else would you like to share that is not reflected in your cover letter or resume?”. The video should be informal. We will not be judging on the quality of the recording. Video is preferably uploaded to a private YouTube channel with a shared link.

Please send all items to rabbisearch@shirtikvahpdx.org.

Systemic inequities in hiring have caused women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ folks, and
others to apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. We encourage you
to break that statistic and apply as no one ever meets 100% of the qualifications. We
look forward to your application!

Sincerely,
The Rabbi Search Committee
