Orot (60+)
Sunday, Nov 15 • 10 am to 1 pm
Orot (60+) Brunch (Sage Brush)
As we grow older, our longings can feel more present, more meaningful, and show up in new ways. Using the amazing Jewish Studio Process, we’ll come together to creatively explore the great power still available in our aspirations. No art experience required.
Please join us for brunch in our event space. At this brunch, we will gather information from you about your primary interests so we can better craft our future programs. If you cannot attend, no worries – fill out the interest form HERE.
We want to engage you with ideas, humor and beauty. So some brunches will have speakers; some will draw groups together by shared interests; and some will have a specially curated Jewish Studio Project created and led by Ann Bohrer and/or Ross Berman.
Twenty-five percent of IKAR (and growing) is over age 60. It’s time for us to give our demographic the full attention it deserves – as people with that unique blend of wisdom and experience, fragility and resilience, dreams and aspirations that mark this stage of our lives.
And so, we present Orot.
Orot, the Hebrew word that means “lights,” is a fitting new name for IKAR members age 60 and older.
Orot helps its cohort explore aging consciously, affirmatively and thoughtfully, using the Jewish tradition to harvest meaning from our lives and supporting the process of determining what we want to experience and share in our remaining years.
But that is only part of Orot. Lights blaze most brightly when they are together. So finding new friendships and supporting community is a primary goal. We will gather in settings designed to encourage friend-making and community building, adding smaller gatherings and classes, facilitated introductions and quiet surroundings.
