Gather beneath the Harvest Moon for an immersive experience of improvised music, delicious bites, nature, ritual, and community. Just days before the Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot, we invite you to celebrate the season’s abundance and express gratitude as we craft a beautiful communal altar. With guidance from ceremonialist Devorah Brous, you’ll encounter four immersive “stations” that engage the spirit and enliven the senses. This outdoor full-moon-inspired harvest party blends contemporary festival energy with ancient, Earth-based wisdom. Music by KCRW Music Director, Ale Cohen. All are welcome.

Our virtual Morning Minyan is one of the best-kept secrets of IKAR. Monday-Friday and Sunday at 8am PT on Zoom, we’ll explore a different modality we might use to help us access our prayer life: singing, meditation, study, etc. And each day we will end with a Mourner’s Kaddish.

Wind down and get ready for Shabbat. 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 (60+).

Every Saturday morning at 9:15am, join Dev Brous and/or Dr. Barry Goldstein for a meditation session on the 3rd floor/rooftop Art Room, located next to the elevator. And find your way to sip some homemade herbal tea blends, FromSoil2Soul, near the coffee station.
