Unlocking Creativity in a Time of Crisis: Rabbi Adina Allen in Conversation with Rabbi Sharon Brous
Please join us on Sunday, November 23rd for our annual Hanne Mintz z”l Thanksgiving Tikkun, as we come together with food donations to pack over 100 Thanksgiving feasts for families in our LA Voice partner church communities.
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.
Our Purpose
- To embody a radically welcoming, ever-evolving Jewish community sustained by a true sense of connection and belonging.
- To excavate our vast Jewish tradition, uncovering pathways toward a more meaningful, joyous, and spiritually rich life.
- To bring people together to work toward a more just, curious, and compassionate society that honors the dignity and humanity of every person.
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.
