Do I need to return the stipend if I complete the training but ultimately decide that I do not want to teach?
No, no need to return the stipend. We encourage you to rethink and consider teaching another time.
Teaching
We will match you with a synagogue or school that works best for you and your location.
Is there a hybrid option?
A hybrid option will be school dependent. It is best to be in communication with the school director if this is a requirement for you.

This depends on the needs of the school, availability and what age group you are most comfortable teaching. Open communication with the school director is essential, let them know your preferences.
Is a teacher certification required?
