In 1974, a small group of dedicated Jewish community members with an ambitious vision gathered to discuss the possible establishment of a Jewish day school in Ann Arbor. The group’s dream became reality when the Hebrew Day School of Ann Arbor opened in the fall of 1975 with a class of 12 “gansters” (kindergartners). In 1995, HDS began a Hebrew immersion program, which has become a model for day schools nationwide.
Today, the mission of the Hebrew Day School of Ann Arbor is to nurture the development of knowledgeable, caring and committed Jewish children in a dynamic learning environment. Through exceptional general and Judaic studies and Hebrew language immersion, students will create a meaningful and joyous connection to their heritage and build a strong foundation for lifelong learning and involvement in the wider community.
HDSAA is seeking a Director of Development to oversee all aspects of the school’s fundraising operations and contribute to the growth of its annual campaign. A successful candidate will effectively analyze data to build operations infrastructure for HDSAA’s fundraising efforts and help inform decision-making alongside the school’s development staff and lay-leader solicitors. Reporting to the Head of School, this individual will serve as a Steward of HDSAA’s mission, directing the annual campaign and helping the school create and grow its endowment.
Hebrew Day School of Ann Arbor is committed to diversity in the workplace and is an equal-opportunity employer.
