Beth Torah’s Women’s Group
(Scroll down for upcoming programming…)
JULIETs
Jewish Unforgettable Ladies Interested in Eating Together
What is it?
Our mission statement: Inspired by Jewish values, we bring women together for friendship and learning. We offer support to Congregation Beth Torah and the wider Jewish community. It is a social and educational group, not a sisterhood.
When do we meet?
All meetings occur at 12:30 p.m. on a Sunday, usually the last one of each month. You will be notified by email if we have to change the date.
Who can become a JULIET?
All Jewish women + non-Jewish wives of Jewish spouses are eligible. CBT membership is not required, so bring your friends, even if they are not members of our congregation. This group is for women of all ages and the programs will vary to reflect that philosophy.
What does a typical meeting look like?
We start promptly at 12:30 p.m. The first 30 minutes are for shmoozing and eating lunch. Each woman brings her own sack lunch and CBT will provide beverages, paper goods and plastic cutlery. The next 60 minutes is for our program, which usually includes a guest speaker.
What does it cost?
Nothing! Congregation Beth Torah is sponsoring JULIETs, so there will be no charge for the first year of operation. At that time, we will reevaluate our financial status.
Our September Program
Heart to Heart International
What does Heart to Heart International do? It’s an organization that seeks to improve healthcare access in the U.S. and around the world by ensuring that quality care is provided equitably in medically under-resourced communities and in disaster situations. HHI has provided humanitarian service in more than 130 countries, has shipped over $3 billion in aid, and has logged more than 1 million volunteer hours. The new global headquarters and warehouse are located in Lenexa. This facility has enabled HHI to distribute 4 times the amount of medical and humanitarian aid!
Have you ever wondered what happens when HHI goes to a foreign country? Dr. Kathleen Stone will recount her personal experiences caring for people after hurricanes hit Barbados and Honduras. In addition, she spent a year caring for the unhoused in Kansas City. She will discuss the connection between mental illness and becoming unhoused. Dr. Stone has been called Dr. MacGyver for her ability to think creatively when proper medical devices are not available in emergency situations.
