June
Pride

As we joyfully celebrate LGBTQIA+ Pride this month, we honor the queer community’s struggle for equality and justice. We also recognize the continuing threats to the safety and well-being of LGBTQIA+ people in our country, especially trans/non-binary/gender-expansive people. We encourage you to learn, advocate, and donate to ensure that all people can live in freedom and safety.

And that is purely and simply racism. Antisemitism is a form of racism. And if you cannot condemn unequivocally attacks against Jews because you hold them collectively responsible for the decisions of Benjamin Netanyahu or Bezalel Smotrich or Itamar Ben-Gvir, the most hard-right ministers in Israel’s history, then you are not anti-war, anti-racist, or anti-genocide, you are just an antisemite. And it’s important for us to get really clear on that before more people are even harmed or God forbid killed.”.

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.
