We meet in the Kontinos Community Hall of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Congregation, 8210 Cypress Lake Drive in south Fort Myers.

Now in its 6th year, The Community Free Synagogue is an alternative to the "fee for services" model of the ordinary American synagogue. We don't sell memberships. For us "belonging" means participating in the life of our congregation, whose mission is prayer, study and benevolent acts. We comfortably support ourselves through a spirit of volunteerism and by the generosity of the hundreds of households in our area that make C.F.S. their congregational home. Our music is vibrant, worship uplifting and highly participatory, and our setting relaxed and informal.

Traditional Friday Sabbath Eve Dinner is at 6:30 PM every week . There is no charge and reservations are never required!
Worship begins at 7:30 PM each Friday evening.

Torah Study with the rabbi is preceded by a light breakfast each Saturday from 9:30 - 11:30 AM
