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 August Program
Safety & Security: Everything You Wanted to Know about Safety but Were Afraid to Ask.
Join the JULIETs (Jewish Unforgettable Ladies Interested in Eating Together) on Sunday, August 24, at Congregation Beth Torah. (Please note that this date is the 2nd to last Sunday in the month, NOT the last one due to Labor Day weekend.) Our guest speaker will be Officer Wes Griffith of the Overland Park Police Department. He was recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice for an innovative program that he created and implemented to increase safety and security in residential neighborhoods.
Learn what you can do to protect yourself and to prevent crime. Are video doorbells recommended or should you save your money? Safety and security are important to all of us. We must protect ourselves and our neighbors. Did you know that it’s illegal to solicit at the door of a house that has a ‘no soliciting’ sign clearly displayed? If you see solicitors on your block, but they haven’t approached your home yet, should you report it to the police? What should you do when confronted with road rage? How can you detect a scam? Bring your questions for Officer Griffith, ladies. (He said to call him ‘Wes’.) This is your chance to bring your questions about Everything You Wanted to Know about Safety but Were Afraid to Ask.
