Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown proclaimed Sunday as Chabad of Southside Day as the synagogue and school at 11271 Alumni Way prepares to celebrate its fifth anniversary.
The resolution designating the day was approved by the Jacksonville City Council. Rabbi Shmuli Novack and his wife Chana co-direct the organization, which operates the Ganeinu Early Childhood Development Center, a Sunday Hebrew school, a Chabad on Campus program serving Jewish students at area universities, and adult education and religious services and programs.
