High Holidays
Rabbi Fishel Zaklos
Keeping in mind that our current situation requires us to be fluid and flexible, your Naples Chabad family will offer multiple options for the High Holidays — we’re calling it “Choose Your Own High Holiday Adventure!” We have something for everyone:
• Virtual pre-High Holiday inspiration
• A DIY guide, which will help you cover all the bases and, we hope, imbue this special time of year with an added element of sweetness. Call the office if you would like this or if you need a Machzor or a prayer book.
• Holiday round challah, apple and honey drive-by pick up Monday, Sept. 6 at 3 p.m.
• Shofar blowing in the park. Enjoy traditional holiday songs in the beautiful outdoors and pickup a delicious honey cake to go! Sept. 7, 4-5 p.m. at Cambier Park.
We are here for you before the holidays. If you know someone who needs a visit or a smile — we are happy to help. For those in need, we will once again send kosher meals to the elderly, ill and homebound.
This year’s blessing is for all to continue supporting each other, drawing on inner strength to combat this virus pandemic and strive for world peace. May Hashem continue to look over us kindly and to remind us of the faith and hope that the Jewish people have always drawn on for survival throughout troubled times.
For further details about services, contact the Chabad office.
The flying challah and kosher meals from the heart
Each week, we send out smiles with an uplifting message in the form of a tasty fresh challah. Nominate a recipient by sending us an email, and we will have it delivered.
Minyan
If you have a yahrzeit or need to say Kaddish, we are always here to help make a minyan during the week.
Four Torahs
As you may know, we have recently come into the possession of four Torahs, which require restoration and repair to make them kosher. Helping in this effort is a unique opportunity to celebrate the High Holiday season with your family and participate in some Chabad history.
Partner Project
Here is your very special opportunity to share in all the amazing projects we offer to the community. Join our Partner Project and choose how you wish to participate — no pressure!
Volunteer assistance
Our volunteers continue to be available to help elderly or homebound people in need of help with shopping for groceries and medicine –– just let us know.
Shabbat services
Join us for uplifting Shabbat services held every Saturday morning beginning at 10 a.m. The Torah service begins at 11 a.m. and includes the rabbi’s insights, which always has a contemporary, meaningful and relevant message.
Hebrew school
Having just celebrated graduation, we are beginning to enroll students for next year’s in-person classes, providing the best in Hebrew language and religious education available.
We suggest early registration to reserve a place for your children. Contact 239- 262-4474 or office@chabadnaples.com.
Bat & Bar Mitzvahs
We have been so fortunate to celebrate twice in June and twice in July, with the promise of many more as our students mature. We are blessed to have a great team of teachers, Rabbi Kawaler and Morah Adi Indianer, to assist the children as they become part of a special club to learn more about their Jewish heritage and culture.
