20th Israeli-Palestinian Joint Memorial Day Ceremony (Co-Sponsored by IKAR)
The Joint Memorial Day Ceremony, organized by Combatants for Peace and The Parents Circle Families Forum, is one of the largest Israeli-Palestinian jointly organized peace events in history. The Joint Memorial Ceremony provides a unique opportunity for Israelis and Palestinians to grieve together and stand strong in demanding an end to the occupation and ongoing violence.. The ceremony occurs yearly on the eve of Yom HaZikaron (Israeli Memorial Day). In Israeli mainstream culture, the ceremonies that are most often held to honor this day serve to reinforce cultural narratives of pain, victimhood, and hopelessness. The Joint Memorial transforms this narrative by bringing Palestinians to the Memorial alongside Israelis to mourn side by side and model another way forward..  . At 7 pm, join us in person as a community to stream a recording of the ceremony at the IKAR Event Space. Register here..

New York Times - Trump’s Fight Against Antisemitism Has Become Fraught for Many Jews

“This is not going to protect Jews,” Rabbi Brous said in an interview. “We’re being used.”

Circles

Circles are entirely lay-led small affinity groups of self-selected IKARites who co-create a close-knit, micro-community around a topic, hobby or area of interest. Whether virtually or in-person,  your IKAR Circle will gather to share a fun evening, a deep conversation, a creative project or a group experience.

5785 Adult Learning Series

Welcome to IKAR’s Adult Learning Line-up for 5785. We’ve got something for everyone. Let’s learn, grow, and connect together.

IKAR’s mission is to reanimate Jewish life and develop a spiritual and moral foundation for a just and equitable society.

Fusing piety and hutzpah, obligation, and inspiration, IKAR is a dynamic, multi-generational community that fosters a yearning for personal, purposeful, creative engagement in Jewish life, particularly among young and disaffected Jews. Rooted in Los Angeles and reaching globally, we strive to actively and intentionally celebrate the vibrancy and diversity of the Jewish people.

Justice

“Love your neighbor, and love yourself. That is the whole Torah. All the rest is commentary” — Hillel

We believe that the active pursuit of justice and dignity for all is a core expression of our Jewish spiritual and religious selves, and we integrate that belief into everything we do at IKAR. Minyan Tzedek is how we harness the organizing power of our entire community to work toward the world as it ought to be. Our goal is 100% community participation through one of our four paths: Feeding Our Neighbors, Green Action, IKAR Community Organizing, and Global Partnership.

IKAR is fueled by the love, talent, and creative investment of each of our community members.

Our membership is an expression of individual commitments and a way for each person to expand their Jewish horizons through learning and spiritual growth.
