Barbara Weisman brings over 36 years of experience in Jewish education and a lifelong love of Jewish learning to her role as Education Director at Old York Road Temple-Beth Am. With a background in Business Administration and a Master’s degree in Education, Barbara has led several congregational religious schools with a focus on joyful, experiential, and values-based learning.
At Beth Am’s Mensch Lab, Barbara’s vision is clear: Jewish education should be alive, engaging, and meaningful. Students learn by doing—through music, art, community service, and exploration of Jewish values in and beyond the classroom. Her goal is to cultivate mensches—curious, kind, empathetic individuals proud of their Jewish identity.
Barbara and her husband Daniel live in the area with a growing family that includes two sons, their spouses, two grandchildren, and several beloved dogs. She is thrilled to be part of the Beth Am community and to help shape the next generation of Jewish learners and leaders.
