Wednesdays, 10/28, 11/18, 12/9, 1/6, 2/10, 3/3, 4/14, 5/12 at 7pm The sudden rise of Elijah marks a major shift in the leadership of Israel, from the King to the Prophet. This transition raises all the thorny questions about the relationship between religion and politics that we continue to grapple with today. Fire from heaven, resurrections, sea-splitting, and more – come study some of the wildest, most riveting stories in all of Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible) in a monthly Beit Midrash led by Rabbis Brous, Panitz and Kasher.

Nov. 19, 7 PM: Children No More – An observational documentary short (made entirely without any government funding) about a vigil that began in March 2025, when a handful of women stood silently in a public square in Tel Aviv, each holding a photograph of a child killed in Gaza. On every image: the child’s name, age, date of death, and the words “was and is no more.” Their stillness is heavy, pressing against the rhythm of ordinary life. Some passersby look away; others respond with denial, sorrow, or rage. Yet week after week, new names are added, new photographs are printed and lifted high. And each week, more people step forward to join this quiet act of protest.   IN PERSON, MID-CITY LA AREA. RSVP FOR THE LOCATION

Join us at IKAR on Saturday, November 21 following Shabbat services, for a fascinating dialogue featuring Rick Sopher, co-author of Illuminating Scriptural Connections:  A Qur’anic Commentary on the Torah, in conversation with two distinguished scholars, Reuven Firestone and Saqib Hussain.   Together they will explore how the Qur’an engages with the characters, narratives and teachings found in the Torah. Through a close reading of the text, the conversation will illuminate the profound connections between Jewish and Islamic scripture, examining the Qur’an’s deep reverence for the Torah while also considering its critiques of how some within the Jewish community have understood and followed its teachings.    This engaging exchange will offer an opportunity to discover the rich scriptural intersections between Judaism and Islam and to consider how these shared texts can deepen our understanding of both traditions.
