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 June 28 Program
Silver Haired Legislature
If you are in favor of continuing early voting and voting by mail, expanding transportation for seniors and preserving Medicaid, you won’t want to miss Norman Kahn’s presentation at the June 28 meeting of the JULIETs (Jewish Unforgettable Ladies Interested in Eating Together). Kahn, one of the Johnson County representatives to the Kansas Silver Haired Legislature, will explain how the Kansas Silver Haired Legislature advocates for those and other priorities important to seniors in the state. Kahn will also discuss how the Silver Haired Legislature advocates for similar legislative priorities of the Johnson County Commission on Aging. Join us to learn about this advocacy group.
Also at our June meeting: Renee Franklin, a local budding playwright, has written a short play with Jewish themes. Just for fun, she will read the script to us.
