At Chabad of Naples

Rabbi Fishel Zaklos

The Celebration of Jewish Life was an incredible series that enabled us to come together as a community. With 11 amazing events, we celebrated our shared heritage, engaged in enriched cultural experiences and deepened our understanding of Jewish traditions. From educational workshops to inspirational gatherings, each event brought us closer together and ignited a renewed sense of pride in our collective identity.

Ted Epstein deserves major thanks for coordinating the entire series and making it such a resounding success. Without Epstein’s dedication, passion and unwavering commitment to bringing our community together, this Celebration of Jewish Life would not have occurred. We also wish to thank the wonderful committee that helped plan and execute these events.

To learn more about the CJL series or to volunteer and support it, please visit CJLnaples.com or reach out to Rabbi Fishel at 239-262-4474.

Exciting updates on the Big Build

We are very excited to share these updates. Progress is swift, with underground utilities installed, the parking lot finalized and the building pad completed. The installation of asphalt is complete, paving the way for our car line and additional parking in front of our building. This marks a significant milestone in enhancing accessibility and convenience for all involved. In addition to the surface work, substantial underground preparation is underway.

Behind the scenes, there's been a flurry of meetings and collaboration, which are vital for ensuring that every aspect of the project aligns with our vision and meets the highest standards of quality and safety. It's incredibly gratifying to witness the dedication and teamwork driving this project forward!

We have come a long way, but we still need to raise $1.5 million to complete the dream and to secure a bright future for our community. Please partner with us at www.naplesbigbuild.com.
