Overview
RABBINICAL STUDENT TO LEAD HIGH HOLIDAY SERVICES
University of Southern California Hillel is seeking a charismatic rabbi or rabbinic student to lead High Holiday services this fall, 2018/5779 for university students and others at USC Hillel. Responsibilities include leading Rosh Hashanah services on Sunday night, September 9, Rosh Hashanah services on Monday, September 10 and Tuesday, September 11; Kol Nidre services on Monday night, September 17, and full day Yom Kippur worship on Tuesday, September 18.
USC Hillel is open to all students. Students attending services at USC Hillel tend to be liberal, secular, reform or conservative-leaning Jews. Services need to be egalitarian, uplifting and engaging, with ritual in service to joy and community. Undergraduate and graduate students are very involved in all Hillel programs, and will wish to be involved with services; it is possible that we could enlist student musical/vocal help, as well. That said, singing ability for our High Holiday leader would be a plus. We expect at least 200 – 250 students, and will attract some faculty and community members, as well.
USC Hillel is committed to inspiring every student to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning and Israel. As a student-run, staff-supported nonprofit, Hillel engages students in comprehensive organizational visioning and program planning – nurturing tomorrow’s Jewish communal leaders and preparing students for Jewish life on campus and beyond.
