💙 This is what community looks like.

We love seeing our Martin J. Gottlieb Day School students, families, faculty, and friends come together to welcome Shabbat right here at the Jacksonville Jewish Center.

These moments are a beautiful reminder that we are one congregation, one community, and one Jewish family—learning, celebrating, and growing together.

🍋🥃 What a night in the Sukkah!
Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for Bourbon in the Booth! We enjoyed an evening filled with delicious food, great friends, and an incredible bourbon tasting from Manifest Distilling.

A special thank you to everyone who helped make the evening such a success—especially our wonderful co-chairs: Blake Levine and Jamie Haseltine, Scott Kennelly from Manifest Distilling, and Margo's Catering for the fantastic food!

We loved celebrating together in the Sukkah and are so grateful to everyone who came out and made the evening so much fun. 🍂🥃✨
