Did you ever consider a career in rabbonus, kiruv or chinuch in chutz l'aretz?

A two year Kollel and Training Program for Educators and Communal Leaders, Based in Jerusalem

In order to translate Judaism into the language of the 21st century, to relay our heritage to a modern generation, educators today need more than just knowledge. They need skill, and they need training.

Our goal is to raise the consciousness and observance of Jews of all backgrounds, especially those with little or no Jewish education, giving them the opportunity to see the beauty, truth and relevance of Judaism to their own lives by training the chutz l’aretz front line: teachers, rabbonim and kiruv professionals and helping them find appropriate positions; so that they can have maximum impact.

Since the program started over 25 years ago hundreds of Ohr Lagolah graduates have found attractive well paid positionsin chutz l’aretz as rabbonim, mechanchim, campus rabbis and in community kollelim, inspiring thousands of young Jews to investigate, connect to and grow in their Judaism.

Ohr Lagolah offers a unique blend of classes, learning seder and practical hands on experience.

Each participant will be required to make a written commitment to serve in the Diaspora for a time commensurate with his enrollment in the program, up to a maximum of two years.

Married candidates who are accepted to the Ohr Lagolah Program may receive a monthly stipend.
