JLI adult education
Please join Rabbi Mendy Greenberg for a remarkable, new four week course from the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute.
Outsmarting antisemitism
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. Four Tuesday evenings, starting Tuesday, Oct. 19, 7:30 - 9 p.m.
Please call 239-949-6900, email jli@jewishbonita.com or sign up at www.myjli.com/learn/bonita.

Kosher grocery store
Bonita Kosher Market features an extensive line of kosher meats, chicken, deli, dairy, groceries, bakery goods and more.
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 also be doing a Mitzvah each time they shop, as proceeds will go to further the programs offered by Chabad. Hours are by appointment.
