Receptionist
A synagogue is a house of study, a meeting place, a center for the spirit. Founded in 1916, Congregation B'nai Emunah has served a diverse community of people who approach their Judaism and enact Jewish values in many different ways for over one hundred years. We are a self-confident religious center committed to constant experimentation. With supportive and stable leadership in place and as part of Tulsa’s interfaith tapestry, we see ourselves as a home for serious social activism, engaging educational experiences, essential cultural connections, and innovative thinking that will shape the next hundred years of Jewish life in Tulsa.
As the Synagogue Receptionist, you will play a critical role in facilitating high-touch, warmth-filled experiences for members, friends, participants, and clients of the Synagogue’s diverse programming. Whether on the phone, at the front door, or through email channels, you love meeting new people and helping them on their journey. You quickly synthesize information and serve as a conduit for the flow of internal and external communications.
