I would say no.

Today (as far as I'm aware) JavaScript can do everything jQuery does just as easily. jQuery was more important many years ago when this wasn't the case.

If you're going to learn something, there is no advantage in learning jQuery instead of JavaScript. But there is a huge disadvantage because JavaScript is essential for development (unless you use a completely different language).
