“A community is too heavy for anyone to carry alone” - Deuteronomy Rabbah
The Jewish Community Alliance is the cornerstone of Jewish Life in Jacksonville. It serves as the common meeting ground for the entire Jewish community to experience exceptional educational and cultural programs, recreational activities and after-school care. In addition, it is the home to one of the finest preschools and summer camps in the area.
As it continues to flourish, the JCA reaches out to the greater Jacksonville Community, fulfilling its mission well beyond the founder’s expectations. Each day, hundreds of people walk through the doors of the JCA to enhance mind, body and spirit in the tradition of our heritage while they improve the quality of their lives. For many people, the support and connections to the JCA are lifelines. The JCA is a well-managed and fiscally sound agency that relies on your support and generosity to ensure that its important work continues.
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” - Winston Churchill

Named endowments will enable programs and donors name to exist in perpetuity.
