Yeshiva University’s Jewish Job Fair

Hundreds of job-seekers in search of potential careers in the Jewish communal and educational fields recently filled Furst Hall on Yeshiva University’s Washington Heights Wilf Campus for the annual Jewish Job Fair, co-sponsored by YU’s Institute for University-School Partnership and Center for the Jewish Future (CJF).

More than 35 day schools from across the country were represented  at the fair to accept and review resumes and conduct interviews. Participating organizations included Aish NY, Camp HASC, Frumster, Gateways, iVolunteer, Nefesh B’ Nefesh, NCSY, OHEL, the Orthodox Union and Yeshiva University.

“I walked away very impressed with the quality of candidates and encouraged by the talent that is deciding to enter the field of Jewish education,” said Rabbi Ari Segal. “It is no small measure due to the efforts of YU, the School-Partnership and the CJF. They are elevating the profession and I think that is having far-reaching ramifications in the quantity and quality of people entering the field.”

In addition to teaching positions and other career prospects, the fair offered a wide array of opportunities ranging from fellowships and scholarships for master’s programs and internships.

Scott Goldberg, PhD, director of the YU School Partnership, noted that “Yeshiva University is not only where many day school graduates go to school, but has become the place where the day schools themselves go to school.”

“We are proud to prepare and place teachers and school leaders around the country, provide them with continuing education and ongoing support and work with schools to strategically plan for the future. “
