Congratulations & Mazel Tov!

Honoring Don & Arlene Shapiro, David & Daryl Sissman

Deborah Rosen Fidel, JD, MAJPS Executive Director

We hope you will join us in recognizing the Shapiros and Sissmans on Sunday, March 9 at Temple Shalom’s annual major fundraiser, “Bright Lights on Broadway!” These four extraordinary volunteers have engaged the hearts and minds of so many members of Temple Shalom. Each one has been an active change-maker and leader here for over a decade. Their dedication to service, philanthropy and leadership is an inspiration to our entire congregation.

We hope you will celebrate with the Sissmans, Shapiros and Temple Shalom (as sponsors), at what promises to be a fabulous event. Thank you to our outstanding event chairs, Anthony and Ashley Solomon and Linda Lerner, the many volunteers and our Temple Shalom staff for planning an incredible evening.

Eddie Shapiro, author of “Here’s to the Ladies,” “A Wonderful Guy: Conversations with the Great Men of Musical Theater” and “Nothing Like a Dame: Conversations with the Great Women of Musical Theater,” will regale us with behind-the-scenes stories of Broadway’s biggest stars, accompanied onstage by Cantor Azu and two colleagues, Cantor Tifani Coyot and Cantor Shira Ginsburg! This fun and fabulous event will kick off with a cocktail party for our sponsors and conclude with a dessert reception for all.

This fundraiser is not just an event; it’s an opportunity to invest in our community and nurture the next generation of leaders. Your gifts enable us to enhance outstanding educational offerings, expand outreach initiatives and strengthen our ability to meet the spiritual and communal needs of every member. With your partnership, Temple Shalom will continue to be the center of Jewish life in Naples.

Thank you for your generosity and dedication to our community. Together, we will continue to build a bright future for Temple Shalom. I look forward to seeing you at “Bright Lights on Broadway” and celebrating all that makes this congregation so special.
