Sababa (40’s-50’s) Havdalah + Potluck Pool Party

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.

We are an intergenerational circle of men who support one another in becoming the men we want to be in the world.

A Grief Garden is a sacred listening space.  Together we explore embodied practices, rituals, mindful meditations, breathwork and grief writing prompts.  Whether you are undergoing traumatic grief, collective grief, disenfranchised grief or climate grief, you are welcome to find solace in this sacred Garden. To sign-up, please fill out this form. Schedule a 1-0n-1 Grief Support with Dev here: https://cal.com/devorah-brous/grief-support?duration=60  

Wind down and get ready for Shabbat with us! Join our virtual Happy Hour, every Friday at 5pm PST. We are diverse: still working and retired; single, divorced, widowed, and in a relationship; have children, grandchildren, pets, plants, or none of the above; Angelinos and transplants. What we have in common is Ikar, a multitude of experiences, and a desire to spend some of our time enjoying events and experiences with those in our age group. Approximately 60 and above.
