New and exciting things at Jewish Young Professionals

By Cayla Schreier, JYP Coordinator

Our Jewish Young Professionals (JYP) Naples members prepared and hosted numerous Shabbat dinners during the month of August. All our hosts prepared delicious Shabbat dinners and did a wonderful job of welcoming the Sabbath. Thank you to Dani C., Sarah M. and Carley S. for hosting incredible Shabbat dinners this past month for our JYP Naples members.

Our members ventured to Fort Myers to attend: Paint a Portrait Tik Tok Challenge, Jewish Edition. We chose partners and then painted portraits of each other using acrylic paint on canvas. The artist did not reveal their portraits until all were completed and the reveals began. The Jewish twist was to add our partner’s favorite aspect of being Jewish. Our members chose Jewish aspects such as the Magen David, Tikkun Olam, Challah, and grape juice. It was very humorous to see people's reactions when their portraits were revealed.

Future events

Details about upcoming events will be distributed via email and the Facebook group chat. Please reach out to Reneé (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 member's 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.
