Programs and Services open to all

By Rabbi Mendy & Luba Greenberg, Co-directors

Chabad of Bonita Springs and Estero, led by Rabbi Mendy and Luba Greenberg, welcomes Jews of all backgrounds. You do not need to be a member to join our services or programs as shown below.

JLI adult education

Please join Rabbi Mendy Greenberg for a remarkable new four-week course, “Outsmarting Antisemitism,” from the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute.

It’s hard to outrun it. It’s time to outsmart it. Against the backdrop of a recent uptick in antisemitism and the increased anxiety it has brought to the Jewish community, this course sets out to beat this age-old cancer — with purpose, positivity and pride. Marshaling historical analysis, Talmudic sources, Jewish mysticism and contemporary expert analysis, the four lessons of this course provide insight, perspective, practical direction and personal reassurance to motivate and inspire proud, fearless Jewish life.

It will be held four Tuesday evenings starting Oct. 26, 7:30-9 p.m. Please call 239-949-6900, email jli@jewishonita.com or sign up at www.myjli.com/learn/bonita.

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.
