Now Hiring: Rabbis, Educators & Creatives

April 25, 2017 by Patrick Beaulier

Rabbis Sought
Want to work one-on-one as a rabbi, educator and mentor for an organization that is growing by leaps and bounds, utilizing new models of Jewish community as well as the latest learning technology?

Darshan Yeshiva is currently searching for rabbis to be part of our growing conversion program. In particular, we are seeking rabbis outside the USA and Canada, with an ideal focus on the UK.

As part of our conversion program, you would be responsible for mentoring students via phone, Skype or in-person, assisting students through their online educational process, providing a meaningful rabbi-student relationship, as well as facilitating the student’s mikvah and bet din. You get to choose how many of our students you work with and can add more students at any time. You will generally meet with students once per month for ten months and at the end of ten months they will come to you for their mikvah date. Rabbis can choose to work online entirely (working with students from all over the world who come to them for their bet din and mikvah) or with students in their area.

Send an email with your resume/cv to info (at) darshanyeshiva.org

Creatives Sought
We’re always on the lookout for creative people with amazing ideas. Want to pitch us an idea? Send an email to questions (at) punktorah.org

Our online leadership school, Darshan Yeshiva, teaches you everything you need to know to become a Darshan, a lay Jewish spiritual leader serving unaffiliated communities all over the world.

The Darshan Yeshiva curricula includes:
  • Prayer Book Hebrew
  • Liturgy for Shacharit, Mincha, Maariv
  • Shabbat and Holiday Services
  • Jewish history, philosophy and literature
  • The Jewish calendar
  • Lay chaplaincy including hospital visits
  • Life cycle events including bar/bat mitzvah, baby naming, funerals and shiva minyanim
  • Practical halacha and Talmud
  • Maggid training

About Rabbi Patrick

DSC_5081

Thank you for stopping by! My name is Rabbi Patrick and since 2009 I have been the executive director of PunkTorah. We started off as a YouTube channel and quickly developed several Jewish projects which you can find on this website.

I am an author/blogger, teacher and lifecycle officiant, as well as a retired musician. I currently serve as the somewhat behind-the-scenes director of Darshan Yeshiva and as the spiritual advisor for Bonay Kodesh, an independent-progressive Jewish community in Chesterfield, VA.

If you want to interact with me directly, I recommend the following avenues:

Rabbi Patrick Website – you can learn more about my lifecycle services, which serve to fund PunkTorah’s variety of projects.

Darshan Yeshiva – I have contributed several videos to the Darshan Training program

Nook or Kindle – I have edited or written several eBooks on Judaism

Have questions? Feel free to email questions@punktorah.org and we’ll help you out!
