How many people can say they truly love going to work every day? I can — and I want you to join me.
Imagine walking into a workplace where everyone’s rooting for you, the kids are eager to learn, and your boss is your biggest cheerleader. We’re more than teachers. We’re a family. Teaching today isn’t what it used to be — and that’s exactly why it’s the most rewarding job you’ll ever have.
Every afternoon from 1:00 to 4:00, I get to be part of something truly special — teaching English subjects at Bais Rivkah Elementary. There is an amazing energy, camaraderie, and sense of purpose here. It’s more than just a job. It’s a community.
From the moment I walk into the building, I’m surrounded by an incredible group of colleagues who are supportive, collaborative, and genuinely care about one another’s success. We share ideas, laugh together, and back each other up in every way. There’s no sense of isolation here — we are truly a team.
One of the biggest reasons for that is our leadership. Mrs. Leah Jacobson is not just a boss; she’s a mentor, a cheerleader, and a visionary. She sees the strengths in each person and helps them shine. Working under the leadership of Mrs. Chaya Rader and Mrs. Naomi Pinson adds to the richness of the environment — their encouragement, dedication, and willingness to help at every turn make this place extraordinary.
The work itself is deeply rewarding. Education has evolved — kids aren’t the same, and the way we reach them must evolve as well. Here, we meet that challenge head-on. We adapt, we innovate, and we make a difference in real time. Watching a student grasp a new concept or gain confidence in themselves never stops being fulfilling.
And for anyone wondering about career growth — there’s plenty of room to develop your skills and take on new opportunities. You’re not just clocking in and out; you’re building a future in a place where your contributions matter.
I can honestly say I love going to work every single day. If you’re passionate about teaching, thrive in a supportive, Chassidish environment, and want to be part of a team that truly has each other’s backs, come join us in the afternoons at Bais Rivkah Elementary. It’s more than a job — it’s a place where you’ll belong.

It’s disappointing to hear individuals referring to all secular subjects under the umbrella term of “English.” English is a language, and a subject like mathematics transcends one particular language. That being said, I believe that this example of what is seemingly a widespread misapprehension in our community is one representative of a microcosm of a far larger issue, namely that girls graduating from the schools in our community (not to mention the boys for more obvious reasons), are becoming increasingly incompetent in secular subjects that are supposedly being taught in our schools. An environment with “good energy” (whatever that is… Read more »
To comment number one ,
Why post negativity here ????
What’s your point?You’re accomplishing absolutely zero !
I must add that this college, Adelphi University, has thousands of students, and only a few tens of Bais Yaakov/Rivka girls in their own track with the same professors. The Dean’s List (top grades that semester) was mostly frum female names every single year since they made this track accomadation.
That’s ridiculous.
What are you talking about, our children are not “illiterate” in any shape or form and probably have much higher skills than your avg child.
Every Jewish community refers to it that way because the Judaic subjects are referred to as the “Hebrew” subjects. And instead of calling it “secular” they call it English. Big whoop. As a graduate of a school that referred to their subjects this very way, my college’s Dean’s List was made of majority Bais Yaakov/frum girl’s school graduates, semester after semester. They’re doing just fine.
It’s disappointing to see comments without any proofreading Minor Clarity and Comma Adjustments: “one representative of a microcosm of a far larger issue” is a bit wordy. You could consider simplifying it for clarity. One suggestion: “one example of a microcosm of a larger issue.” Comma Usage: “(not to mention the boys for more obvious reasons), are becoming…” could use a clearer separation between ideas. Consider removing the comma after “reasons.” Revised: “…for more obvious reasons) are becoming…” Clarity in “fullblown”: “fullblown” is more commonly spelled as “full-blown”. “That” vs. “Which” (Formal Style): The sentence “…teachers that inhabit said environment…”… Read more »
As we are referring to people, I vote for:
Teachers *who* inhabit (and I would probably change inhabit to simply “work” or “participate,” as my college writing professor encouraged clarity over attempting to snowjob the reader with your vocabulary)
Danit,
BR is very lucky to have you on board. You are a true dugma Chaya teacher! The students are thrilled to have you as their morah.
Wishing you much continued success !
With great admiration,

What a zechus to be a part of this great moisad. Much Hatzlacha to you and to all fellow educators for this coming school year.
First, your students are so lucky to have you for a teacher, because you love coming to school to teach them. I hope my girls in bais rivkah will have teachers who are excited to come to teach them every morning and love what they do. My daughter is going into 8th grade and they are still looking for a chumosh teacher for 8th grade cause last year’s teacher isn’t coming back. If you are excited to teach chumosh and give our children a love for chumosh with making sure they are up to grade level for high school, with… Read more »
