Baruch Habah – Welcome to the Naples Jewish Congregation of Naples, Florida, a proud Union of Reform Judaism member. We are known in Southwest Florida as the “small congregation with the ‘big heart’.”

Our Temple is 27 years old and has consistently had a tradition from its inception of striving to immerse its members in a family-like environment of warmth, support, spirituality, affirmation, and nurture. We are a community that try to be there for one another in times of joy and sorrow, difficulty, and celebration.

Our congregation has a most vibrant legacy of life-long learning courses, social justice activities, cultural activities, celebrations and greater community endeavors and service.

We are committed to interfaith activities, services, both creative and traditional, Torah study, and a variety of cultural explorations. You will find our community to be “heimisch” and at the same time a sanctuary for the soul. We promise you acceptance, joy, and a rich, vibrant, active Jewish environment that will enable you to feel like you have found a home.

Teens

Many Jewish teens leave home believing they've "finished" their Jewish education after their b'nei mitzvah or after confirmation. I certainly did. But that's like thinking you've mastered math because you learned multiplication tables.
