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 November Program
LUMI Neon Museum - Saving KC Neon
In 2017, the LUMI Neon Museum was founded to save Kansas City’s vintage neon signage. Nick Vedros, nationally recognized Kansas City photographer, formed a nonprofit organization to rescue, restore, preserve and display iconic neon signs, primarily from Kansas City area businesses. Nick assembled a team of Kansas City business people to comprise the LUMI Board of Directors and The LUMI Neon Museum was born. (‘LUMI’ was taken from the word ‘illumination’.)
Every sign has a story, including its history, business ownership, donors and the restoration process. LUMI’s mission is to rescue, restore and illuminate the signs. Neon signs are often regarded as a form of urban art. The goal is to eventually have about 100 signs on display and admission will be free to the public.
