Something for everyone Rabbi Fishel Zaklos
C
habad Naples is meeting this surge in COVID with a surge of caring volunteers, who are ready, willing and able to provide the elderly and homebound with the assistance they need. Shopping? Picking up prescriptions? Just ask! We are here for all of you. How about A Taste of Shabbat from our family to yours?! Feel the need for some Challah or a good old-fashioned prescription of healing Jewish chicken soup? Order one for yourself and drop one off for a friend — pick it up at our drive-thru on Friday, Feb. 11. Please order ahead at Chabadnaples.com/ tasteofshabbat.
The flying challah and kosher meals from the heart Do you know someone in need of just a
little extra love right now? Each week, we send out smiles with an uplifting message in the form of a tasty fresh challah. All you have to do is nominate a recipient by sending us an email and we will have it delivered. If you know someone who would appreciate a meal for Shabbat, or just in general, please let us know. We will be happy to arrange to have one sent to those who are really in need and without means to obtain help.
Purim March 18 – Purim. We will have a special Shalach Manot drive-thru, where you can pick up Haman Taschen and Purim treats: www.chabadnaples.com/purim. Megillah Readings March 17 and 18.
Every home needs a Mezuzah! Thanks to the generosity of a sponsor, there is an opportunity for you to have your first Mezuzah installed at your home. We have a limited number available. Rabbi Zaklos will be happy to do the correct installation with special blessings and the Mezuzah ceremony. No home is complete without the
protection of a Mezuzah! If you don’t have one, call Chabad.
Minyan If you have a yahrzeit or need to say Kaddish, we are always here to help make a minyan during the week. We are so grateful to those who help us with this minyan service when called. There have been so many minyanim during the week, and it is amazing to see how the community comes together for each other.
