The Jewish Educator provides educational leadership for Family Journeys
, an innovative initiative designed to strengthen Jewish identity, belonging, and connection through shared family experiences. Centered on whole-family identity-building, this role designs and facilitates meaningful educational experiences that help families connect their own stories to the broader arc of Jewish and American Jewish history through intergenerational storytelling, reflective inquiry, and shared exploration.

• Design a cohesive educational curriculum that transforms each day trip into a connected journey of reflection, storytelling, and Jewish identity-building.
• Develop engaging, age-appropriate, intergenerational activities, reflection prompts, and Family Story experiences that invite families to connect their personal narratives with Jewish history, values, and community.
• Facilitate pre-trip gatherings, educational experiences during each trip, and post-trip reflection sessions that foster dialogue, relationship-building, and ongoing connection among participating families.
• Employ experiential educational methods that prioritize reflective inquiry, storytelling, peer-sharing, and meaningful conversation over traditional didactic instruction.
• Create welcoming, accessible experiences through trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and sensory-aware facilitation practices that ensure every family feels seen, respected, and able to participate fully.
• Foster a sense of belonging for families from historically underrepresented or underserved populations—including interfaith families, Jews of Color, multiracial families, LGBTQ+ families, adoptive families, and single-parent households—helping create meaningful entry points into Jewish communal life.
• Root educational experiences in Jewish values, traditions, and the broader arc of American Jewish history, helping participants discover connections between their own family stories and the evolving Jewish experience.
• Collaborate with the Program Coordinator to integrate educational goals into trip planning, logistics, and participant engagement.
• Partner with focus group participants, community members, and colleagues to co-create curriculum, facilitation prompts, and experiences that reflect the lived realities of participating families.
• Review participant feedback and continuously refine curriculum and facilitation practices to strengthen the Family Journeys model.
• Contribute to the development of educational resources and facilitation tools that support the portability and long-term sustainability of the Family Journeys model.
• Visit and familiarize yourself with trip locations in advance to prepare educational content and facilitate meaningful experiences.
• Staff all Family Journeys trips and events,…
