The Jewish Historical Society of Southwest Florida

Mission Statement

We celebrate and promote awareness of contributions Jews made in Southwest Florida with the purpose of educating Jewish and non-Jewish population about the positive impact Jewish people made in every sphere and every community. ​

Organizational Overview

The Society seeks out, collects and preserves written, spoken and photographic records the early Jewish settlers and residents left to their future generations. We are archiving the Jewish presence, achievements and legacy, creating educational material and preserving a trail since 2010. The Collier County Jewish History has not been documented or has been sporadically documented before then. We are piecing it together, and have created a range. of educational materials and presentations. Our volunteers help deliver the film and oral presentations to the community at various forums and online.
