Explore a New Career in Jewish Day School Leadership
Many Jewish day school leaders began in law, business, or other fields. If you’re ready for work with meaning, we’ll help you explore leadership in Jewish education.
This is a different kind of career move
You’ve spent years building expertise, making decisions, and leading in your field. Those skills don’t disappear in education. They become the foundation for something bigger.
Jewish Day Schools need leaders who understand strategy, people, operations, and long-term vision. They need people who know how to build, guide, and grow organizations.
That’s where you come in.
At JSLE, we help experienced professionals translate what they already do well into leadership roles in Jewish Day Schools. You won’t be starting from scratch. You’ll be stepping into a role that demands everything you’ve already built and gives it new purpose.
From corporate career to Head of School
Rebecca Lurie is Head of School at Solomon Schechter Day School of Greater Boston. But prior to this, she led the Talent Management department at Staples, Inc, where she worked for ten years.
She was also at Prudential Financial for five years after receiving her MBA from NYU School of Business and graduating with a double degree in political science and Talmud, from Barnard College.
Rebecca is proof that Jewish school leaders don’t necessarily need backgrounds in education, just passion for it.
