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.

Summer Youth Experiences

At the Jewish summer camp I attended in my youth, we created a sacred moment for our closing-night ritual. After we finished our campfire singing, we'd look up at the stars. Campers today live very different lives. In a post-pandemic world, they have endured screen overload.
