Beth Liberman, Executive Director
Beth Liberman has been dedicated to strengthening Jewish life in Vermont since returning to the Green Mountains in 2016. As Executive Director of JCVT, she works to deepen connection among Jewish communities across the state, expand opportunities for meaningful engagement, and build partnerships that sustain vibrant Jewish life throughout Vermont. Her previous leadership as Director of Education at Beth Jacob Synagogue and the Jewish Community of Greater Stowe (JCOGS) laid the foundation for her longstanding collaboration with JCVT and PJ Library.
Beth holds a B.A. in Psychology and Studio Art from the University of Vermont and an M.S.Ed. in Museum Education from Bank Street College of Education. Her family spent significant years living in Israel, where she became fluent in Hebrew, participated in cross-border peace initiatives, and developed a deep appreciation for Israeli arts and culture. These experiences continue to shape her vision of Jewish learning, connection, and community-building.
Beth delights in living Jewishly in Vermont, where tradition is enriched by the spirituality of nature, the rhythms of the seasons, and the strength of close-knit community. She is committed to connecting with Jewish Vermonters across the state—the “Jews in the Woods”—and to discovering creative, meaningful ways to celebrate, connect, and sustain Jewish life together.
When she’s not working, Beth can be found tending her garden in Hyde Park, snowshoeing through the woods, blowing the shofar at the edge of a brook, or exploring art exhibitions and discovering hidden gem museums and galleries around Vermont.
Alison Hill, Havurah Initiative and PJ Library Coordinator
