Shalom b’Harim, the Jewish community of the North Georgia mountains, is seeking a new spiritual leader. The unaffiliated synagogue serves Hall, Habersham, White, Forsyth, Dawson and Lumpkin counties along with the surrounding areas. The congregation meets in Gainesville for Shabbat services once a month as well as High Holiday services and special occasions.

Shalom b’Harim is looking for a spiritual leader who can conduct Friday evening and/or Saturday morning services and will engage warmly and compassionately with members. The congregation pays generous stipends per service.

It is oriented toward Reform/Conservative worship. There is a core membership of approximately 50 actively engaged congregants, with greater participation for holidays.

Someone who is passionate about Judaism and willing to play a role in social and civic Jewish-related projects in the community is desired. The spiritual leader should be available for occasional lifecycle events, which will be compensated individually, separately from regular services.
