We are a Reform Temple affiliated with the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. As Naples' primary place of Jewish worship since 1962, Temple Shalom is a source of religious enhancement, and a place for spiritual guidance and solace in time of need. Our members, from all Jewish backgrounds, find in Temple membership a sense of identity and attachment. We emphasize present day Jewish values and historic experience through Shabbat, Holiday observance and education for congregants of all ages. Bar and Bat Mitzvah training includes highlighting the contemporary meaning of being Jewish.
Adult education nourishes our commitment to learning and continuity.
Rabbi James H. Perman , spiritual leader since 1993, conducts all religious services. Rabbi Perman is recognized as an outstanding community leader. His sermons and lectures challenge and stimulate. Rabbi Daniel M. Sherman is our Assistant Rabbi. He is involved in all areas of the Temple's activities especially in the areas of youth programs, service to young families and educational enrichment, Our Friday Shabbat Services are the focus of the Temple week and are the foundation reinforcing the continuing religious growth of our membership.
