New and exciting things happening at JYP Naples

By Cayla Schreier, JYP Coordinator

September has come and gone, but JYP Naples members were able to create some fun memories. Three of our JYP Naples members attended the KSpace Shabbaton in Marco Island between Sept. 6-8. Our friends had a great time meeting other young Jewish singles and enjoying a nice time in Marco Island.

One of our members, Spencer, hosted Shabbat dinner on Friday, Sept. 27. Everyone had a wonderful time welcoming Shabbat and eating dinner together, where we were able to relax and catch up with one another.

On Saturday, Sept. 28, we went to Escapades Escape Rooms located in Fort Myers. My goal was to incorporate teamwork, collaboration and bonding amongst the local Jewish Young Professionals. I believe it’s important to work as a team and stick together to accomplish goals and solve problems, especially with the recent rise in antisemitism and the horrific attack in Israel on Oct. 7.

Additionally, some of our JYP members went to Dixie Roadhouse located in Cape Coral after going to the escape rooms. We danced the night away with drinks and country music and even learned some line dances.

Future events

Details about upcoming events will be distributed via email and the Facebook group chat. Please reach out to Renee (rbialek@jewishnaples.org) if you would like to be added to those group communications. We also have a Google form for members to fill out to receive members’ feedback and ideas on what type of JYP events they would like to see in the future.

I look forward to seeing everyone soon!

Jewish Young Professionals of Naples wishes everyone a happy, healthy and sweet New Year 5785. We hope everyone can celebrate the New Year with family and friends.
