Simhat Torah is the grand finale, the High of Highs, the culmination of this intense, challenging, inspiring season. Every prayer and prostration, moment of reflection and point of connection has led us here, to a night of few words and tremendous spirit.

The whirlwind of Rosh Hashanah has passed, but its words and spirit remain with us. If you weren’t able to join us-or if you’d like to revisit moments that moved you-we’ve gathered highlights from the powerful sermons, teachings, and conversations from our time together. May they carry you forward into the new year with strength, clarity, & hope.

IKAR’s mission is to reanimate Jewish life and develop a spiritual and moral foundation for a just and equitable society. The IKAR Center will be a permanent, central place for all of IKAR’s activities and work, bringing together our prayer space, religious school, ECC, event space, and offices.

Our city has risen up to defend our immigrant families and community, led by the people who are directly impacted. We know that many of you are looking for other ways to help support our immigrant neighbors. There are many excellent organizations and grassroots groups doing everything from offering pro-bono legal counsel to delivering groceries and coordinating rides.

From soulful Shabbatot and holidays to inspiring learning and programs for all ages—this past year at IKAR has been full of meaning and connection. Ready to be part of what’s next? Renew now for 5786. Early bird rates through July 8.
