Togethering is a new endeavor designed to support young, modern couples as they explore how Jewish wisdom, practices, and stories can bring something meaningful to the lives they build together—on their own terms and in their own time. We do this through awe-inspiring immersive travel, authentic personal exploration, and ongoing opportunities to build community with other great couples.

The Senior Director, Learning & Facilitation is a senior leader and trusted partner to the Executive Director, serving as the architect and driver of Togethering’s faculty strategy. The role is the organization’s growth engine for scaling the Togethering program to communities across North America, ensuring that every trip, facilitator, and participant experience is delivered with excellence, consistency, and care.

This leader will oversee all aspects of faculty training and curriculum mastery, and be responsible for building the infrastructure needed to sustain a national network of rabbis, experience facilitators, and post-trip engagement leaders / local partners.
