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

Our Temple is 25 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 who 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.

As the Jewish community grapples with fears of our eroding security in post-10/7 America, nobody wants to consider the question of whether we have enjoyed that security up to this point by right or by debt.
