Support Immigrants

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.

Tisha B'Av

Together we will remember the destruction of the holy Temples in Jerusalem and other tragedies in Jewish history, and pray, learn, and recite lamentations as we try to gather the energy we need to heal our own broken world. Join us for three events, one events on Saturday, 8/2 and two on Sunday, 8/3.

Our Mission and Purpose
IKAR is a Jewish community rooted in ancient wisdom and inspired by the moral mandate to build a more just and loving world. We are dedicated to reimagining Jewish life through deep relationships and shared values, intellectual and spiritual curiosity, piety and irreverence, joy and defiant hope.

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.
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.
