Become a patron of the Greater Naples Jewish Book Festival

It’s a win-win!

By Robin Mintz, Greater Naples Jewish Book Festival Chairperson

The 10th Annual Greater Naples Jewish Book Festival — Ten for 10 — begins in only one month. And what an exciting festival it will be!

The opening event will be at 7 p.m. Monday, Dec. 9 at the Nina Iser Jewish Cultural Center. Did you ever wonder what it was like to grow up as the son of a television icon? Adam Nimoy, author of “The Most Human: Reconciling with My Father, Leonard Nimoy,” will share his experience as the son of Star Trek’s Mr. Spock. As Adam will tell us, it was often a challenge.

We anticipate a sellout — but don’t worry, there is still time to become a Patron of the Jewish Book Festival and be guaranteed a seat.

Being a Patron of the Greater Naples Jewish Book Festival is certainly a winwin! Not only are you assured entry to each of the 10 book festival events, it also enables us to bring an outstanding array of authors to Naples. Including this year’s festival, 182 authors will have presented at 129 events during our 10 years of festivals. In addition, money raised helps our Federation to fulfill its mission of building a vibrant Jewish community in Greater Naples and supporting the social service needs of the Jewish people in our community, in North America, in Israel and around the world.

There are three levels of Patron: Platinum at $500, Silver at $250 and Bronze at $136.

Why should I become a Patron?

In addition to knowing that your financial support is integral to the success of the Jewish Book Festival as well as helping our Federation to help others, Patrons receive several other benefits. You will be pre-registered for each event; you simply sign up once. All Patrons will be acknowledged in the Federation Star and on the Jewish Book Festival webpage. Unlike everyone else, Patrons won’t have to individually register for each event.

Platinum Patrons will be given preferred reserved seating at all events.

Silver Patrons will have reserved seating at all events.

Bronze Patrons receive significant savings in purchasing entry to all of the events in the festival.

How do I become a Patron?

Simply check the appropriate box on the JBF Registration Form on JewishBookFestival.org. A link to the registration form is also in many of Federation’s Monday e-blasts. It’s that easy!

If you are not already a Patron, I hope that you will consider becoming one for the 2024-25 Jewish Book Festival.

The Book Festival Committee, a cadre of dedicated volunteers, along with Reneé Bialek and myself look forward to welcoming you to the Book Festival Kickoff on Dec. 9 at 7 p.m.
