You Belong at IKAR High Holy Days 5785/2024

We enter 5785 in a moment of reflection and renewal, aware of the urgency of the challenges that we face as a people, a nation, and a world. This year, our spiritual check-in carries even deeper weight. In the midst of so much uncertainty, we gather to dream, to mourn, to find renewed hope, and to hold each other close.

Holding the Grief, Holding the Promise (10/7 Commemorations)

It has been nearly a year since the atrocities of October 7—a year of war and devastation, grief and anguish. We have held a profound, collective sense of loss, fear and uncertainty.

We will mark this yahrzeit, this anniversary, with numerous opportunities to gather for ritual, song, poetry and prayer. Most importantly, we’ll be together. We invite you to join us for any or all of the gatherings we are holding.

Election Engagement

Join your fellow IKARites as we work together to participate in our democracy and help turn out the vote for our shared values, locally and nationally.

Local Action: In LA County and California, IKAR has endorsed YES or NO votes on 6 ballot measures that reflect our shared values and are important for us to speak out about.  Read our endorsements here.

National Action: We’re partnering with Dayenu: A Jewish Call to Climate Action and the Environmental Voter Project on Dayenu’s Chutzpah ‘24 campaign to call environmentally-inclined but low-propensity voters in key states to encourage them to vote, and to help them set up a voting plan

Welcome to our new website

This carousel features timely events and media. We invite you to move around and explore. Check out “This week at IKAR” to see what we’re up to! We hope you find something meaningful.

IKAR Census

As we plan for the next 20 years, we are taking a moment to celebrate our success and examine our impact. Each section of this survey measures our work with demographic and hard data as well as personal stories. It is important for both members and non-members to fill out the survey because your input helps us understand our reach and ways to further maximize our strengths.

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.

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.

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.

A Land for All
Responding to the Crisis in Israel and Gaza
