Transitions at AARC’s Beit Sefer (Religious School)

July 27, 2022 by Gillian Jackson

It is a summer of change and transition at AARC as we have said goodbye to Rabbi Ora and now our Beit Sefer Director, Clare Kinberg. As you may know, Clare is the publisher and editor of the Washtenaw Jewish News. In her short tenure as publisher and editor, Clare has taken the paper in a new direction that provides our community with critical insight into the local and wider Jewish community. In order to more fully support this effort, Clare has decided to pass on the directorship torch of the AARC’s Beit Sefer program.

But as they say, when one door closes, another one opens! The AARC leadership has encouraged us to use this year as one of growth and opportunity. Not just in terms of service leadership, but in terms of redefining what is important to us as a community and strengthening our community’s participation in their spiritual home. In line with this view, bringing in new leadership to our Beit Sefer program brings the opportunity to reinvigorate our program of learning for our young families. Although we cherished our time with Clare, we know that we will find new and bright opportunities for the years to come.

With that said, we invite you to spread the word about this job opportunity to your networks in the greater Jewish Ann Arbor area. The job posting is listed on our website HERE. As always, please let us know if you have any questions, and enjoy the photos below that spotlight the years of Clare’s heartfelt and inspiring leadership!
