Grief Garden Circle: Monday Mournings (FromSoil2Soul)

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.

As we grow older, our longings can feel more present, more meaningful, and show up in new ways. Using the amazing Jewish Studio Process, we’ll come together to creatively explore the great power still available in our aspirations. No art experience needed. Join us for an afternoon of conversation, creativity, and reflection using the Jewish Studio Process to explore longing and its potential to energize our lives. Have questions? Please email Ann Bohrer at [email protected].

We are an intergenerational circle of men who support one another in becoming the men we want to be in the world. We focus on deepening our connection to Judaism, building community at IKAR, and forging bonds of brotherhood. Please register here by 1:00 pm on the day of any meeting you wish to attend.

Disinheritance: The Rediscovered Stories of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala (1927–2013) Join us for a conversation on the remarkable life and literary legacy of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, whose distinguished career included a Booker Prize and two Academy Awards. We are honored that Ruth’s daughter, Firoza Jhabvala, a member of IKAR, will join us to reflect on her mother’s work and enduring influence. In advance of the discussion, you are invited to explore one of the following related events: May 4 at 6:30 PM at Chevalier’s Books on Larchmont, where three authors will discuss Ruth’s influence on their own writing; or June 25 at 11:00 AM via Zoom with the Leo Baeck Institute, featuring director James Ivory, Ruth’s longtime collaborator, and Wall Street Journal book reviewer Sam Sacks in conversation about her work.
