IKAR Virtual Book Club Circle

We welcome everyone to our Shabbat morning services, no matter their level of observance, experience, or familiarity with Hebrew. Daven with us in person at Shalhevet, or join us virtually on YouTube or Zoom. Childcare is available during Services for kids ages 2-5. Stay afterward for our kosher, vegetarian community lunch.

A little intentional silence can go a long way.  Join Devorah Brous and Dr. Barry Goldstein on Shabbat morning before services, 9-9:30 am for a guided mindful meditation. Location: Shalhevet Rooftop. Grab your coffee and ready your soul with the sacred sound of communal silence.

We need prayer and connection more than ever during this time. So every weekday at 8am, we will gather online for a half-hour Zoom of prayer and learning.

Poetry can often heal, elevate the soul and awaken the heart. Come join IKAR’s Jewish Poetry Circle as we read Jewish poets — the Oneg Shabbos poets of the Warsaw Ghetto, Medieval Sephardic poets, Israeli and Jewish-American poets up to the present—the historical context of their writing, spiritual relationships, personal agonies and joys. The Circle is not an academic writing class but rather an informal experience of a committed group of participants to explore and hopefully bond with Jewish poetic expression and with each other.
