Come together for our tech-free (off-mic) Kabbalat Shabbat Services with a focus on lifting our voices in song as a community. Enter through our alleyway and down the ramp into our event space. For those with accessibility needs, you can be dropped off and enter through the front door. Following Services, join us for dinner and TRIBErs come for dinner, dessert, and board games!

This virtual drop-in class is open to anyone who wants to explore the subject of our aging, with the aim of creating community as we turn towards this largely uncharted terrain. At every meeting, we will consider a short piece by Anne Lamott, which will serve as a springboard for practical exercises and conversations that incorporate our tradition’s wisdom and our own. Together we will set new goals for approaching our aging with insight, grace, purpose – and humor. Recommended age 55+.

After our online Minyan on Monday mornings we open a short Grief Garden Circle, a sacred listening space, from 8.30-9.00am.  Please join us there if you are holding grief.

Step into four immersive, in-person sessions where tradition meets artistic inspiration. During each two-hour session, together, we’ll explore passages from Tehillim (Psalms) found in the Shabbat liturgy, unpack their messages in open discussion, and transform our insights into fresh songs and poems. No experience needed—just curiosity, an open heart, and willingness to experiment! Bring your instruments, your voices, a notebook, or a recording device. Make liturgical poetry and music your own. Come for learning, leave with inspiration—and maybe a new melody in your heart. Whether you’re a seasoned musician, a passionate amateur, or simply a soul seeking meaning, there’s a place for you here. Join for one session or all four—each meeting is a new chance to create and connect.

Tuesdays, 11/18/25 through 5/26/26 (except 3/3) Hybrid (IKAR Event Space + Zoom) Every Tuesday morning, a new story from the Talmud. Taught by Rabbi Brous and Rabbi Panitz in a monthly rotation, we’ll dig into the strange and compelling world of the Talmud, exploring the ways ancient dilemmas speak to modern questions. Join us in-person at the Event Space (coffee and nosh provided) or over Zoom (B.Y.O. nosh) for as many sessions as possible… your Tuesday will thank you.

Once a month, TRIBE is creating our own Beit Midrash (house of study) for us to engage with Jewish text to find how we can live more fulfilling, meaningful lives as we navigate our 20s and 30s! Each session will take us on a journey of text exploration and introspective work. Part of the session will be studying in hevruta, or with a study partner, and part of the session will be taught by R’ Hannah Jensen. No previous text study required! Join us for dinner, study, and lively discussion. Timeline: 7 PM – Dinner 7:45 PM – Learning (indoor/outdoor)

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.

Come for an evening of community, learning, and conversation, featuring ikarites Abbe Feder, Elana Havusha, Paulette Light, and Rachel Light. Following the December 2024 gathering introducing Red Tent Fund’s mission, they will share updates on recent progress and explore how the abortion landscape has shifted in response to changing funding streams and evolving access.

In this four-part series, we will explore how Judaism addresses kind and harmful speech, beginning with Torah and developing over the history of Halakhah (Jewish law). We will study the laws of Ona’at D’varim (harmful speech) as both a window into ancient and contemporary Jewish values, as well as the ongoing process of biblical and legal interpretation.

Join us for a virtual literary study of the text of the Torah, aided by the keen eyes of the classical commentators. This series is co-sponsored with Hadar.

What is the Grief Garden? Please join Dev Brous, a certified trauma-informed Compassionate Bereavement Care grief counselor, and herbalist.
