What can be better than spending you entire day helping people? - Rabbi Chabad Lubavitch Employee Review

wonderful coworkers and community to be involved

Pay is on the lower end of scale

Fair pay always. I felt free to ask for payment terms to be discussed and expenses were always promptly repaid. Dealing directly with the Rabbi in charge for financial matters was easy and straightforward, never stressful even when donations were lighter at times. The Rabbi in charge was very ethical and detailed in all financial matters with me. I was a non-Jewish contractor and never felt like that was an issue when dealing directly with the Rabbi. He allowed me quite a lot of large scale autonomy in decision making for things he knew I was capable of handling and only took charge in specific orders that required his expertise as a Rabbi to ensure that events and provisions were kosher if the items or events required very specific items. The community I worked with had many amazing activities and community members, and I was included always, even if not on the clock. Very welcoming.

The Rabbi's wife was highly involved in planning all events, however my duties to logistical implementation made some waves, as I was entrusted to ensure budget guidelines were on target, and she was a dreamer who had no financial competency. Occasionally there were rifts due to my needing to tell her "no" for budget or liability reasons. In other words, family business drama. Not insufferable drama, but still not best part of the gig. Some community members were more challenging to engage with, but generally felt that the Rabbi, his wife, and most community members had my back.
