Returning, renewing, reconnecting

Join us for the High Holidays at Beth Tikvah

By The program office at Beth Tikvah

This High Holiday season, we invite you to return not just to Beth Tikvah, but to reflection, renewal, and reconnection. Whether you’re returning or have never left, your presence is essential. However this past year has shaped you, we hope these holidays offer a space to reflect, reconnect, and renew.

In a time when Jewish communities across the world have faced profound challenges, we come together to reaffirm our strength, our faith, and our commitment to one another. We are honored to welcome Cantor David Edwards, whose 28 years of cantorial leadership bring both depth and heart to our services. As he reflects, “The High Holiday season gives us an opportunity to revisit our recent past, evaluate our lives, and plan to move ahead by making changes in our relationships with G-d and our fellow human beings.”

With Cantor Edwards’ guidance — and in partnership with our rabbi and synagogue leadership — we look forward to creating a prayer experience that blends tradition with innovation, and resonates for all.

Adult programming calendar highlights

Lunch and Learn with Rabbi Chorny –Tuesdays, Sept. 2 to April 28ish, 12:15 p.m. Join us for thought-provoking conversations over lunch. Rabbi Chorny connects timeless Jewish wisdom with today’s world — pop culture, tech, current events, and the weekly parsha. Whether you’re local or just passing through, there’s a seat for you. All are welcome. (No sessions on major Jewish holidays.)

Phil Jason Speaker Series – Returning on the second Tuesdays of the month, beginning Nov. 11 at 7 p.m., this cherished monthly series honors the legacy of Phil Jason, a man whose love of literature, culture, and Jewish life continues to inspire. We gather not only to learn, but to be challenged, uplifted, and invited deeper into our Jewish journey.

Rosh Chodesh: Women, Wisdom & Renewal – Our first gathering takes place on Thursday, Nov. 23 at 10 a.m. This monthly program offers a warm, welcoming space for the women of Beth Tikvah to connect through shared learning and conversation. Exploring Torah and Jewish texts together, we link past and present — and sometimes discover something beautifully unexpected.

We’ll be sharing more programming throughout the coming months, with opportunities to learn, connect, and celebrate.

Beth Tikvah of Naples is proud to be a Conservative synagogue that blends sacred tradition with contemporary relevance. Whether you’re seeking a return to community or exploring something new, we welcome you with open arms and open hearts.

Shana Tova from all of us.
