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 27 Program
End of Life Care with Death Doula Laura Gilman
For a truly unusual program, attend the JULIETs women’s group on Sunday, Sept. 27, at 12:30 p.m. at Beth Torah. Laura Gilman, a licensed social worker, will discuss her personal perspective on end-of-life care as a death doula. We have a lot to learn on this topic!
Laura said, “I believe I was put on earth to support people through life’s sacred and everyday experiences.” At her company, called Your Ritualist, she supports people through end-of-life doula services, with the goal of helping people live with as much meaning as possible near the end of their lives.
At end-of-life, she can serve as a doula to:
Assist you and your loved ones to process feelings related to dying, death, and grief.
Help you to craft legal end-of-life directives so that your wishes are made known to both your family and medical team.
Serve as a funeral coordinator and officiant.
See that your wishes are carried out.
The goal is to ensure that you can live your final days with as much presence and readiness as possible.
Bring your female Jewish friends, as well as your friends of other faiths who have a Jewish spouse. Everyone needs to make a reservation by contacting Susie Klinock at JULIETs.KC@gmail.com by Thursday, September 24.
DATE: Sunday, September 27
TIME: 12:30 p.m.
RESERVATION DEADLINE: September 24
All our events are free.
Beth Torah sponsors JULIETs, but synagogue membership is not required. All Jewish women, and women of other faiths who have Jewish spouses, are welcome to attend our programs. Bring a sack lunch or snack. Beverages, paper goods and plastic flatware are provided.
