Happenings at JYP Naples

By Cayla Schreier, JYP Coordinator

On Wednesday, March 12, Mel Duckson and I participated in Jewish Federation of Lee & Charlotte Counties’ Purim celebration by delivering Purim shalach manot to elderly Jewish residents in an assisted living facility in Bonita Springs. We connected with six Jewish residents while handing out the shalach manot goody bags that contained handwritten cards from young Jewish children in our local community, juice, trail mix, and the best part, delicious Hamantaschen. Thank you for including JYP Naples in such a wonderful Tikkun Olam event.

Eight JYP Naples members joined Jewish Federation of Greater Naples’ Film Festival for a viewing of the Tribeca Film Festival winning movie, “Bad Shabbos,” on Sunday, Feb. 16. Jewish Federation of Greater Naples offered us delicious snacks and drinks to enjoy while we watched the movie. Co-director and writer Daniel Robbins attended this screening and answered the audience’s questions about writing and directing this hilarious movie. Thank you to Reneé Bialek for including us.

We hope everyone has a wonderful summer!
