Minyan Tzedek Community Organizing Shabbat Lunch Meeting

Poetry can often heal, elevate the soul and awaken the heart. Come join IKAR’s Jewish Poetry Circle as we read Jewish poets — the Oneg Shabbos poets of the Warsaw Ghetto, Medieval Sephardic poets, Israeli and Jewish-American poets up to the present—the historical context of their writing, spiritual relationships, personal agonies and joys. The Circle is not an academic writing class but rather an informal experience of a committed group of participants to explore and hopefully bond with Jewish poetic expression and with each other.

Join us to hold grief together. Each session is 1.5 hrs – deeply personalized group facilitation by Devorah, a certified grief counselor. This Grief Support Group meets weekly. See YOU soon. Sliding Scale ($12-$72) nobody is EVER turned away for lack of funds. To sign-up, please fill out the participant intake form. Schedule a 1-0n-1 Grief Support with Dev here: https://cal.com/devorah-brous/grief-support?duration=60

Let’s enter Shabbat together with a sweet, spirited Kabbalat Shabbat service.   After Services, there will be two dinner options following services:   -Everyone is invited to stay for community dinner at the IKAR Event Space ($25 dinner registration).  -TRIBE will gather for Shabbat dinner at the Office Patio for people in their 20s and 30s ($25 dinner registration).    We never want cost to be a barrier to attendance. If you need assistance, please email [email protected].

Wind down and get ready for Shabbat with us! Join our virtual Happy Hour, every Friday at 5pm PST. 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. Approximately 60 and above.
