Join Beit T’Shuvah and IKAR for Selihot.

Parenting is amazing. And hard. Really hard. But it can be so much better when we do it in a community of thoughtful, caring, supportive, inquisitive parents. Here’s a chance to be part of an amazing community from the comfort of your couch, one night a week. We will take up different parenting challenges and questions, share information and ideas from experts and from each other, and enjoy a bit of grown-up time. Facilitated by Beth Weisman, M.A., IKAR’s Early Childhood Engagement Consultant. Free and open to grown-ups with children ages birth-5 years. Members and non-members welcome. We will meet virtually Wednesdays from 8:30-9:30 pm 9/30, 10/7, 10/14, and 10/21. A Zoom link will be sent once we receive your RSVP. We hope you’ll join us!

Join Jewish Vegan Life together with ikar’s tribe, LA Federation’s NuRoots, and Jewish Veggies for A Taste of Renewal, an intimate and interactive evening of food, wine, Jewish connection, and reflection during the Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Designed for Jewish adults in their 20s and 30s, this special gathering invites us to explore renewal through the experience of creating and sharing a meal together. We’ll gather around the kitchen with a professional chef to prepare a beautiful plant based dinner featuring seasonal ingredients inspired by the High Holiday season. Along the way, we’ll enjoy thoughtfully paired wines and short reflections inviting us to consider how the choices we make, including what we eat, can express our values as we enter a new year. This is not a traditional cooking class or holiday service. It’s a chance to cook, eat, connect, reflect, and welcome the new year together in a warm and welcoming setting.   What to Expect  Wine and mingling  Interactive vegan cooking experience with a professional chef  A beautiful plant based dinner prepared and enjoyed together  Seasonal ingredients inspired by the High Holiday season  Meaningful reflections on renewal, values, and the choices we make  An opportunity to meet and connect with other Jewish young adults Space is limited.

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.

Join TRIBE + Minyan Tzedek for an empowering evening of activism and leisure in the IKAR Sukkah! We’ll kick off the night with some inspiration from Rabbi Brous, who’s stopping by to share a little wisdom as we head into the election. Then, we’ll call the youngest voters in the IKAR community to get out the vote and ask for their support on two ballot measures endorsed by the IKAR Board. We’ll reward ourselves with a cozy outdoor screening of Don’t Look Up, complete with fresh popcorn, cocktails, candy and the works!
