Lifelong Learning
The Jacksonville Jewish Center is committed to the growth of every member of our congregation. We encourage you to reach out and discover our present offerings and share your interests with us so we can organize classes to explore Judaism together.
To date, we have hosted a variety of programs including the annual Safer Shabbaton, the Shorstein Memorial Lecture, and JTS Distance Learning Courses. Through these programs and others we have learned with Rabbi Matt Berkowitz, list a few Safer scholars, Professor Benjamin Gampel and others in their areas of expertise.
Lifelong Learning is more than “big” classes. Join us as we also share experiences with one another.
Weekly learning with Rabbi Lubliner includes Monday Morning Minyan Mapquest and Talmud on Monday nights.
ShalOM Meditation on Shabbat morning for a mindful way to enter Shabbat services.
Join Rabbi Lubliner for Coffee & Torah on the third Shabbat morning of the month to study the week’s Torah portion.
Adult Library
The Adult Library is located in the Lawrence and Barbara Jaffe Administration Conference Room.
Within the library you can find a vast selection of books on Jewish culture, theology, religious practice, cookbooks, arts, music, crafts, fiction of Jewish interest, newspapers and magazines, and Jewish and Israeli history and biography. Our mission as a library is to enrich the religious and cultural Jewish life and identity of the members of the congregation. The Adult Library supplements the synagogue’s adult education program by providing materials in support of the program’s curriculum and special events, and providing a reliable set of reference materials to support the membership’s general inquiries into Jewish subjects.
There is a large table and chairs if you want to sit and relax.
