Temple Israel of Greenfield, MA, an egalitarian, unaffiliated synagogue located in a culturally rich, rural farming community of Western Massachusetts, seeks rabbi approximately 25 hours per week for a salary and benefits package of $48,000 – $52,000. As the only synagogue in Franklin County, MA, we serve approximately 120 Jewishly-identified households, both in Greenfield and in surrounding towns. Temple Israel has a mission to be a vibrant center for Jewish life in Franklin County, and strives to identify and meet as many community needs as possible, encouraging everyone with a connection to Jewish life and culture to participate in our offerings. We seek a rabbi who embraces that vision and will help us cultivate a space for Jews of all backgrounds, identities, races, sexualities, gender expressions, and places of origin.
