Jewish Life and Educational Programming 

CEs work independently and as a group to frame conversations and some programming for the Genesis community (including, but not limited to, exploring issues around Jewish practice, Shabbat, ways of relating to Israel, and Jewish identity). CEs are also responsible for helping participants integrate the different parts of their experiences through community-building and exploration of diverse Jewish communities. 

Responsibilities:

• Leading daily course discussion groups and activities;

• Assisting the course instructor during class sessions;

• Overseeing student work during group work sessions;

• Assisting students during office hours;

• Working with students on assignments, projects and presentations;

• Meeting with the Course Instructor once per week for review, evaluation, and troubleshooting.

Nesiyot/Expeditions 

Each CE will design and facilitate a four-week (2 sessions per week)âœnesiyah❠for a small group of participants that explores important facets of community: people, ideas, and experiences. Nesiyot are hands-on programs that involve authentic experiences shaped by the participants. CEs do much of the individual planning of Nesiyot prior to the summer with support from senior staff. Collaborative planning is encouraged throughout the summer.

Shabbat

CEs work with senior staff and a small group of participants in weekly Shabbat planning, leadership, and celebration. This may include CE leadership of tefilah (prayer) and/or limudim (learning sessions), as well as offering morning or evening kavanot (spiritual practices).

Chofesh: Recreational Options 

CEs are responsible for offering recreational activities (sports, arts & crafts, music, etc) during chofesh (free time). As part of our emphasis on collaboration, participants will have the opportunity to plan some evening activities for the larger community; CEs will work closely with these small groups of participants.
