From Federation Leadership

According to the online Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word “connection” relates to coherence, continuity and people having an association or common interest(s); something that connects, a link. “Link” sums up the intent of this magazine. Whether you are new to the community or you have been in the area over 20 years, many organizations here offer so many programs that, without this magazine as a reference, it is impossible to know about everything available to the local Jewish community.

By joining a group, attending a program, going to a religious service, seeing a film, volunteering or reaching out to your community, which is here and waiting for your involvement, you enhance your life and enrich the entire Jewish community.

Federation Board Chair Jane Schiff and Federation President/CEO Jeffrey Feld

We are a community because of the connections we share. We are a community because of the programs we attend. We are a community because we help one another, supporting each of the endeavors listed in this publication.

Due to space limitations, each organization is unable to list everything they offer. We strongly urge you to contact any organization in this magazine for an upto-date listing of their activities. The Federation’s monthly Federation Star newspaper also publicizes many of the individual programs offered by each organization.

This is a guide for you to explore your Jewish community. Jewish Federation of Greater Naples is thrilled to be an integral part of your Jewish community.
