Employment Opportunities at RMRC

The RMRC (Rocky Mountain Rabbis and Cantors) is a multi-denominational agency serving Colorado rabbis and cantors from the various branches of Judaism. It is supported by an RMRC professional and an executive committee (the VAAD) and serves its members' spiritual, intellectual, and professional needs.

RMRC meetings provide an opportunity for our members to share knowledge and insight, to have study opportunities, and to have a forum to discuss pressing current events and community and synagogue issues. The RMRC also provides a forum where representatives from local and national agencies can brief clergy on pertinent issues.

Some of our most important initiatives are the Intro to Judaism program (ITJ), our Colorado Community Beit Din (CCBD), and participation in the Board of Peers (BOP) - a consortium of agency directors, rabbis, and cantors, from most Jewish agencies and synagogues in Colorado.
