The release for the following job opportunity crossed my desk; I thought a Jewschooler might fit the bill.

Moving Traditions is a fast-growing national organization that helps women and men, boys and girls engage more deeply with Judaism. Gender serves as the framework for our activities because it shapes the way our culture defines who we are and can become. Gender has been – and continues to be – critical to Jewish text, spiritual practice, education and participation. For Moving Traditions, gender provides a vehicle for expanding Judaism’s ability to help each individual experience his or her full humanity. Moving Traditions’ programs include Rosh Hodesh: It’s a Girl Thing! – empowering 6th-12th grade girls to stay healthy and Jewish; Where Have all the Young Men Gone?; and Bat Mitzvah Firsts – tracking innovation in Jewish life.
