National Association of Temple Educators
Educators working in partnership to build our Jewish future.

NATE is the professional association of Reform Jewish Educators. Through members working in partnership across the United States as well as in Canada, Great Britain, Israel, Australia and South Africa, NATE serves a wide variety of Jewish organizations by working to strengthen Reform Jewish religious education.

Serving Congregations and Schools

• NATE offers a free placement service for congregations and day schools affliated with the Union for Reform Judaism that are searching for an educator. After helping develop a detailed job description for the position, we provide resumes of qualified candidates.
• We advise congregations and schools during contract negotiations with candidates for educator positions and supply information on compensation and benefits.
• NATE's Executive Director is available to consult with congregations on educator-congregational relations and national accreditation procedures.

Serving Educators

• At our conferences, kallot and symposiums, NATE brings together outstanding leaders in religious and secular education. At these gatherings, we facilitate a lively interchange of ideas through thought-provoking and informative lectures, discussion sessions, workshops and social gatherings.
• We sponsor exhibits of textbooks and other learning materials, and promote new curriculum development.
• We recognize members for significant contributions to religious education in general and the Reform Jewish movement in particular.
• We offer a pension plan that includes disability insurance administered by the Reform Pension Board (RPB).
