Jacksonville Jewish Center

The Jacksonville Jewish Center prides itself on being a warm and caring Kehilat Kesher (“A Community of Connection”) that provides a spiritual home for Jews of all ages. Ours is an inclusive synagogue, which welcomes singles, married/partnered and inter-married/inter-partnered families seeking a home within the Jewish community (follow here for more on Keruv/Outreach).  The Jacksonville Jewish Center offers vibrant, meaningful worship services including daily morning and evening minyan, excellent education, youth, adult and Jewish holiday programming, as well as dynamic cultural activities.

The Jacksonville Jewish Center offers a diverse range of opportunities for spiritual growth, Jewish education and communal involvement commensurate with our size. "The Center" strives, however, to think of itself as a close-knit family. We share in one another’s moments of joy, and offer comfort and support in times of tragedy. Those who visit our community for life cycle events often remark on the extraordinary degree of caring warmth with which the synagogue embraces its membership in circumstances happy or sad.

The Center is a multi-generational congregation, with many families whose ties to the congregation span the better part of a century. At the same time, we are blessed with numerous families who have relocated to Jacksonville from around the country and other parts of the globe. As Florida’s First Coast continues to grow in population, we remain committed to the Jewish precept of welcoming all who enter our doors.
