Please register at www.jewishnaples. org or via our weekly e-blasts for each of these programs. The Zoom link will be emailed to you two hours prior to the start of each program.

These programs are advertised in the weekly e-blast that is sent out each Monday morning. If you are not getting the e-blast, please let me know so we can add your email and ensure that you stay connected.

We have a variety of groups and committees at Jewish Federation of Greater Naples, such as PJ Library, Cardozo Legal Society, Catholic-Jewish Dialogue, Israel Advocacy Committee and Jewish Community Relations Council. Please join the group and/or committee that best fits your needs. A taste of each one can be found throughout our website at www.jewishnaples.org.
