I'm learning javascript and I'm at the point where I can't figure it out on my own, how much do I need to know about jquery to develop app with angular, ember or whatever framework i chose to, is jquery optional, something good to know but i can do all i wanted just by going with some popular framework?

You don't need to know anything about jQuery to build an AngularJS application. Angular does come with some jQuery features that they call jqLite. I would focus on getting a basic AngularJs application up and running with the two data-binding functioning then dig into the features in jqLite.
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/function/angular.element
If you want to know some good practices that still apply with AngularJS I would check out Javascript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford.

If your coming from an object oriented language checking out some transpilers like TypeScript and Babel are a great way to get started. Those transpilers build your javascript files following a lot of the practices outlined in the book I referenced.
