Circles

Home > Connect > Circles

Temple Shalom Circles are a fun and meaningful way to connect with other members in small groups based on shared interests, hobbies, and passions. Whether it's crafting, walking, bowling, animal encounters, photography, cooking, or something else entirely — there’s a Circle waiting for you.

Activites begin in the fall. To learn more and to sign up, contact Courtney Silhan at csilhan@naplestemple.org. Join the fun and build meaningful connections today!

	Ma’agal – Hebrew Language Circle If you are an intermediate Hebrew speaker join us to read and discuss short stories, poetry, and articles (in Hebrew!).
	Make it Jewish – Crafting Circle Get crafty with a Jewish twist! From paper weaving to holiday-inspired projects, we’re creating, connecting, and having fun—one craft at a time. No experience needed.
	Israeli Dancing Circle Feel the rhythm, connect with community, and celebrate Israeli culture through dance! Our Israeli Dancing Circle invites dancers of all levels to experience the joy of traditional and modern Israeli folk dances.
	Challah Braiding Circle Ready to take your challah skills to the next level? This hands-on circle is for bakers who are eager to explore more intricate and creative braiding techniques. Bring your own prepared dough and be inspired by others who love this delicious tradition as much as you do.
	Animal Encounters Circle We’ll visit local shelters, rescues, and nature spots like Octagon Sanctuary and Wonder Gardens. Meet amazing creatures, make new friends (two-legged and four!), and share your love for the animal world.
	Bowling We are all about fun, laughter, and a little friendly competition. Whether you’re a seasoned bowler or just in it for the snacks and strikes, this is a great way to connect and strike up new friendships.
	Photography Capture the world through your lens and connect with others who share your passion for photography. Whether you're a beginner with a smartphone or a seasoned photographer with pro gear, this circle is a space to learn, explore, and be inspired.
	Israeli Film Explore Israeli culture through cinema! We’ll watch a compelling Israeli film and gather for insightful discussion.
