The month of March at NJC Adult education Charles Flum President

N

aples Jewish Congregation is a Reform congregation that meets in the Unitarian Universalist Church off Pine Ridge Road in Naples. Due to COVID, our activities are currently very limited.

Friday night services

We have services every Friday night on Zoom. Two upcoming exceptions are on Feb. 26 (which may have happened by the tine you get this issue) and March 26, when we will have Torah services at the church. The services are led by Rabbi Herman. Jane, our cantorial soloist, and Alla, our music director and pianist, add to the beauty of our services. The choir will return when it is safe for them to practice and sing together. Masks are required and all attendees are expected to be vaccinated. Hopefully, it will be warm enough to hold services outside.

Tuesday, March 15 at 7 p.m. on Zoom, Rabbi Herman will lead an adult education class on “A Love Affair through the Ages or What Makes Cuisine Jewish.”

Other clubs and events

Our Sisterhood and Men’s Club are both on hiatus until it is safe to meet in person again. Also on hold is our very popular Flamingle, where we meet in Sugden Park and everyone brings a dish to share. The organizers have various activities for attendees to learn more about each other. A recent topic was “Tell us something funny which happened to you.” Our game night, another very popular event, is also on hold. And it is still uncertain whether we will be able to have our congregational seder. When one is looking to join a synagogue, most people do not want to make a large financial commitment just to check out the rabbi and congregation. That is why Naples Jewish Congregation instituted “Pay from the Heart,” where people only pay what they wish the first year they join. That makes it easy to learn all about “The Little Temple with the Big Heart.”
