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 January Program
Kansas Interfaith Action
Kansas Interfaith Action, or KIFA (pronounced “KEE–fa”), is a statewide, multi-faith issue and advocacy organization that puts faith into action by educating, engaging and advocating on behalf of people of faith regarding critical social, economic, and climate justice issues. They lobby for fair public policy in the state legislature. KIFA centers its work around legislative priorities such as immigrant and LGBTQ+ rights and fully funded public education, economic justice and care for the Earth.
KIFA supporters’ values are shaped by the values of their diverse faiths, which connect them to a concern for justice, peace, and human dignity in Kansas. Health and basic human essentials are priorities for KIFA. They have a website that outlines how mainline religious denominations affirm the need to vaccinate. In other words, Kansas Interfaith Action doesn’t just talk the talk. They also walk the walk.
