The Federation Star, the monthly newspaper of the Jewish Federation of Greater Naples, is the one publication that ties together the Jewish community of Greater Naples and surrounding areas.

They also get updates from the area’s five synagogues and numerous local Jewish organizations. It’s the place they turn to for community news, the community calendar, candle lighting times, a business directory and much more.
