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 December 13 Program
The Star of David Project with Jennnifer Lewis
Jennifer Lewis, a mixed-media artist (and wife of our own Rabbi Craig Lewis), will share her powerful art project, the Stars of David Project, with the JULIETs on Sunday, December 13 at 12:30 p.m.
Jennifer Lewis’s award-winning art has been exhibited at numerous galleries, including the Athens Art Center in Tennessee, the Jewish Community Center of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and the Cultural Center of Cape Cod, among many others. Her current artistic focus is the Star of David Project, a large-scale memorial installation that features six million hand-drawn Stars of David, each representing one of the six million Jewish lives lost in the Holocaust. Using the Star of David as a symbol of Jewish identity, faith, and resilience, the project explores our connection to community and the lens through which we see and understand the world. The work speaks to the tremendous human toll of the Holocaust and the generational effect it has had on the Jewish community. Learn more about the project here.
Lewis’ other body of work is done with a technique called quilling, using tightly rolled colored paper to depict idyllic scenes filled with color and patterns.
