Passover
Pesah challenges us to imagine a world beyond the narrowness of tyranny, enslavement and endless violence, to envision instead great expanse and possibility. Dignity, freedom, love. This is the core, foundational narrative of the Jewish people, and the central narrative of the Torah. When we sit together at our seder tables, we will retell a story that has been central to our tradition, religious practice, and self-understanding for literally thousands of years. Together, we remember what it was like to emerge from the depths of darkness and begin to journey toward light and liberation.
These are hard times. Being together is the best way through. We wish you a meaningful and inspiring Pesah.
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.  So connect with each other, around LA and beyond! If you have questions, contact [email protected].

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.
