New Jersey is home to approximately 550,000 Jewish residents — one of the highest concentrations of Jewish population per capita in the United States. The state spans multiple distinct Jewish communities, from Bergen County and the NYC suburbs in the north, to Monmouth and Ocean counties in the central shore area, to the large South Jersey communities in Cherry Hill and the Delaware Valley corridor.
Northern New Jersey — including Bergen County (Tenafly, Englewood, Teaneck) and Essex County — offers proximity to the New York Jewish community while providing a more affordable, suburban quality of life. Many national Jewish organizations have offices or satellite operations in this corridor.
Work for organizations that share your values and understand Jewish observance. New Jersey's Jewish communities are deeply rooted, and many employers actively accommodate Shabbat, Jewish holidays, and kosher workplace needs.
From the dense Orthodox communities of Teaneck and Lakewood, to the Federation-affiliated organizations across Greater MetroWest and Southern New Jersey, the state offers career opportunities in a wide range of Jewish contexts and denominations.
Jewish organizations in New Jersey offer competitive compensation and professional development in development, education, community programming, finance, and operations — with access to the broader tri-state Jewish nonprofit network.
