Kosher Meals on Wheels

The Kosher Meals on Wheels program will deliver nutritious kosher meals to homebound seniors and disabled individuals in the Jewish community. If you or someone you know may benefit from this program, please call or email us.

Kosher grocery store

Bonita Kosher Market features an extensive line of kosher meats, chicken, deli, dairy, groceries, bakery goods and more. Hours are by appointment.

Our goal is to serve the community and help make it easier to keep kosher. To that end, we are committed to keeping our prices very reasonable and our overhead as low as possible. Shoppers will be doing a Mitzvah each time they shop, as proceeds go to further the programs offered by Chabad.

Jewish Center at FGCU

We operate an independent center servicing the Jewish students at FGCU, now led by Rabbi Mendel and Shternie Gordon. Visit www.chabadFGCU.com for more information.

Grand menorah lighting and Chanukah festival

This outdoor event on Dec. 5 at 4:30 p.m. is open to the entire community. We will be lighting Bonita’s largest menorah, with live music by Emac music productions, kosher deli for sale along with latkes, donuts, children’s crafts, and more. Come join us at Chabad, 24611 Production Circle, Bonita Springs.
