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 July Program
Pawsperity - unleashing Human Potential
Pawsperity is a Kansas City nonprofit organization that helps struggling parents break the cycle of intergenerational poverty by teaching pet grooming skills. It helps its students rebound from domestic violence and addiction. Pawsperity provides FREE job and life skills development through a supportive approach that empowers individuals to earn livable wages, build self-esteem and support their families. The goal is to stabilize the lives of Kansas City families through training. Additional services include a food pantry and nutritious lunches prepared in their commercial kitchen.
Many struggling parents have nowhere to turn to create financial stability for their families. The school teaches everything from animal handling techniques to advanced grooming and breed standards. In addition, Pawsperity provides personal support services such as comprehensive life coaching, access to legal aid, mental health counseling, transportation and even housing — all funded by donations and grants. Many students make the transition into the program directly from homeless shelters.
