To Our Community, Friends, & Partners:

Perhaps the most transformational period in the Downtown Synagogue’s 100-year history is rapidly approaching. We are nearing the completion of a $4.5 million campaign to renovate our synagogue and to create a modern, uplifting, and more collaborative space in the heart of Downtown Detroit. With this major evolution, our leadership needs will be evolving, too.

We have re-imagined the role of Executive Director as someone who will oversee strategic, financial, developmental, and operational initiatives (see Job Description). The Executive Director will leverage the many opportunities afforded by the renovated facility and the shared workspace concept to help IADS grow and thrive. Partnering with our Rabbi and lay leaders, the Executive Director position presents a unique and exciting opportunity for an experienced leader in our community.

We are reaching out to our community, friends, and partners to help us find just the right individual to fill this roll. If you are interested in applying for the position, or you know someone who would be an excellent candidate, please submit a cover letter and resume to DowntownSynagogueJobs@gmail.com. We are accepting applications through September 19, 2021. We will conduct interviews thereafter.

Thank you for your interest and engagement in the Downtown Synagogue.

-The Downtown Synagogue’s Board of Directors
