Beth Weintraub Liberman, MSEd - Director of Education

Beth is passionate about creating a space that supports discovery and inquiry-based learning of our ancient language and the wisdom of our ancient traditions which are as relevant today as ever. She has trained as a museum educator and teacher of Second Language Learners in Vermont, New York, and Tel Aviv, and worked as an educator, arts administrator, and ELL teacher while living in Israel for 19 years. She believes strongly in collaboration as a foundation for building community and has been instrumental in creating the VT/NH/NY Jewish educators forum. She is delighted to be bringing  the JCOGS and Beth Jacob Synagogue communities together for shared Jewish education and delighted to be supporting a new Jewish education program in the Mad River Valley. Beth employs the use of art and play in her teaching of our experiential learning programs of Kinderlach, Gesher, and Olam Chesed,  strengthening organic Hebrew learning.  Beth also guides our teens in becoming thoughtful and engaged Jewish adults in our Mitzvah and Ateed programs. Contact: beth.liberman@jcogs.org
