Positions:

Who we are:

Congregation Beth Emeth, House of Truth, is an inclusive, inter-generational, egalitarian Conservative synagogue in Herndon, VA, in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. We consider ourselves "just the right size" – large enough to meet our members' spiritual, educational, and social needs while preserving the warmth of a close-knit community. A member of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (USCJ), Congregation Beth Emeth (CBE) offers a variety of opportunities for people to find meaning in and connection to Judaism.

We have recently marked 44 years as a congregation. What started with just 15 families coming together in a local community center to worship and learn together has grown into the CBE of today with our own beautiful sanctuary and education building, energetic religious, chai, and pre-schools, engaging adult educational programs, and award-winning auxiliary groups including Men's Club, Sisterhood, Hazak, and USY. All are enhanced by a dedicated Board of Directors and a cadre of volunteers who lead religious services, spread tikun olam to the community, provide entertaining events, and so much more.

Food Service Manager

The Food Service Manager purchases ingredients and prepares simple meals on Friday evenings, Saturday luncheons, and other special occasions. Budgeting, procurement skills, food preparation, supervision of volunteers and part-time employees, and record-keeping of expenses are integral to the position's responsibilities. This position is part-time (20-25 hours per week). Weekend staffing is required.
