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 October 25 Program
Archaeology of Ancient Israel with Dr. Nick Pumphrey
Back by popular demand, Dr. Nick Pumphrey will return to the JULIETs on Sunday, October 25, to discuss the Archaeology of Ancient Israel. A highly sought-after speaker, Pumphrey addressed the JULIETs in May and has been invited three times to the ROMEOs group. Pumphrey is Professor of Religious Studies at Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas and Curator of the Quayle Bible Collection. He specializes in the archaeology and history of ancient Israel, working within the fields of comparative religions, popular culture, and religion.
At the October 25 meeting Pumphrey will give a brief overview of the history of archaeology of Israel. He will cover some of the main periods and sites that archaeologists have explored, highlighting some of the controversies. He will discuss his work at Tel Akko, a Bronze Age Phoenician site on the Mediterranean Coast on the bay of Haifa, where he worked from 2010 to 2019.
