A graduate of Massad and Ramah camps and a former New Yorker, Beth believes in the importance of inclusive, informal education as a platform for teaching important Jewish and social values while building a more caring and accepting society. Beth accepted the 2017 Sylvan Adams Nefesh B’Nefesh Bonei Zion Prize in the community-nonprofit category for creating and building Shutaf with co-founder Miriam Avraham. Beth teaches and writes about disability issues and the parenting experience, and is also the artistic director of Theater in the Rough.
