New and exciting things happening at JYP Naples

By Cayla Schreier, JYP Coordinator

February may be the shortest month, but it certainly can be one of the busiest! From the Super Bowl to Valentine’s Day, JYP Naples members always make time to get together and catch up.

Nine JYP Naples members joined me for a Super Bowl party on Sunday, Feb. 9. While watching the game, we ate some snacks and learned about Jewish sports stars and coaches, such as Mark Spitz, Sandy Koufax, Shawn Green, Igor Olshansky, Justine Siegel, Bruce Pearl and Todd Golden, who have been vocal about their proud Jewish heritage and support for Israel. They have shattered perceptions of weak Jews while spreading positivity about their Judaism.

Additionally, we hosted two Shabbat dinners this past month at Ruth’s house. We shared our week’s challenges and successes while partaking in Shabbat traditions such as candle lighting, reciting the Pri Hagafen and Hamotzi.

We wish everyone an easy Passover with their friends and family.

Future events

Details about upcoming events will be distributed via email and the Facebook group chat. Please reach out to Reneé (rbialek@ jewishnaples.org) if you would like to be added to those group communications. We also have a Google form for members to fill out to receive members’ feedback and ideas on what type of JYP events they would like to see in the future.

I look forward to seeing everyone soon!
