IKAR-Institute for Jewish Spirituality Partnership

IKAR has joined the Institute for Jewish Spirituality’s first Community Network.

IJS, founded in 1999, is a pioneering organization for Jewish spiritual mindfulness. From guided meditation and contemplative text study to leadership training and retreats, IJS creates opportunities to become more mindful, compassionate, and resilient—and build a more just and peaceful world together.

Our partnership provides every IKAR member free access to IJS’s Resources:

  • Daily online meditation sit (including healing prayers and Kaddish) 
  • Weekly online Yoga Studio
  • Weekly online young adult mindfulness meditation for 20s and 30s
  • Monthly online affinity mindfulness sessions (LGBT+ Jews, Jews with Disabilities, Jews of Color)
  • The Gift of Awareness: Cultivating Mindfulness Through Jewish Meditation (IJS’s flagship, self-paced, online course).

Our unique coupon code for online registration at www.jewishspirituality.org is IKAR_CA.

In addition, IJS will be offering IKAR members discounts on other paid online courses, and special group rates if we wish to put an IKAR/IJS cohort together.
