Janet Luterman is a colleague and esteemed educator. She began teaching in 1981 at Beth El in Margate, NJ. She has taught in several schools in the Philadelphia, PA area. We both taught at Beth Zion-Beth Israel in Philadelphia, PA several years ago. Currently, Janet lives in Israel on a Kibbutz in the north, near the Kinneret. She teaches English to Israeli children. Janet is inspired by her students and approaches education with an outside of the box and creative way. Special shout-out to Cindy Citron.
