12.3.25 – For the Love of Learning 5786 – On SUFFERING: The Outer Limits of Our Understanding – Rabbi Sharon Brous

Tuesdays, starting 11/18/25 through 5/26/26 Hybrid (IKAR Event Space + Zoom) Every Tuesday morning, a new story from the Talmud. Taught by your rabbis 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.

Join us on 12/6 around 11:30am PT in person & on YouTube.com/ikarlosangeles for a conversation between Rabbi Angela Buchdahl and Rabbi Sharon Brous on faith, identity, leadership, and Buchdahl’s new book, Heart of a Stranger.

Let’s enter Shabbat together with a sweet, spirited Kabbalat Shabbat service. After services, everyone is invited to stay for community dinner at the IKAR Event Space, with a special conversation by Author and The Jewish Theological Seminary’s Joseph J. and Dora Abbell Librarian and Professor of Talmud and Rabbinics, Dr. David Kraemer.  We never want cost to be a bearer in attendance. If you need assistance, please email [email protected].

Vayetzei 5786 When it comes to speaking about the personal experiences we’ve had— or we yearn for— with God, we tend to retreat into self-consciousness and silence. I’d like for that to change. So, here’s my story.
