Christiane Amanpour speaks with Rabbi Sharon Brous of the IKAR synagogue in Los Angeles about the Trump administration’s funding cuts to higher education in what it says is an effort to battle antisemitism.
Join us for IKAR’s annual spring fundraiser, Party With A Purpose, our casino night event celebrating 21 years of IKAR.
Date & Time: Thursday, May 15, 2025 | 6-10 PM
“This is not going to protect Jews,” Rabbi Brous said in an interview. “We’re being used.”
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.
Welcome to IKAR’s Adult Learning Line-up for 5785. We’ve got something for everyone. Let’s learn, grow, and connect together.
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.
Our membership is an expression of individual commitments and a way for each person to expand their Jewish horizons through learning and spiritual growth.
Support IKAR
IKAR’s mission is to reanimate Jewish life and develop a spiritual and moral foundation for a just and equitable society.
