Upcoming events

Following Services, join us over lunch to learn songs of the resistance movement. Inspired by the people of Minnesota, we will sing together in defiant joy... songs we'll take to the streets in the coming weeks and months. No experience necessary! Just come lend your voice to this moment.

A night of comedy, matchmaking, and meddling with Yenta Podcast hosts Raye Schiller and Antonia Lassar Join us at Ikar for a live matchmaking event where the Yentas will help you find your perfect match! Jewish matchmaking! Live! And queer! (Or straight, we’re inclusive!) What: The hit queer Jewish podcast Yenta is going live at IKAR LA for a one-of-a-kind matchmaking show! Hosts Antonia Lassar and Raye Schiller—genius comedians and internet sensations—will guide the evening as audience members pitch their single friends. Nothing is sexier than a powerpoint presentation! After the show, there will be time to schmoze and meet your beshert (soulmate). Whether you’re single, coupled, or just love a good meet-cute, come schmooze, scheme, and celebrate love. Mazel in advance! Who’s invited: This event is open to Jews and allies of all sexualities, because we love to include the straights. You’re so welcome. This event is open to singles who want to be matched, and non-singles who want to be nosy Yentas doing the matchmaking! If you want to be matched, but don’t want to be profiled onstage, submit to the online Yenta Matchmaking program here. All Yenta Matchmaking episodes can be found on Patreon. When: Doors open at 7pm, Magic starts at 7:30pm. After the show there will be time to schmooze! *Also there will be snacks and drinks. We know our audience. If you have a friend that you’d like to pitch, email the Yentas at [email protected].
