Passover Services: Day 1

We need prayer and connection more than ever during this time. So every weekday at 8am, we will gather online for a half-hour Zoom of prayer and learning.

Sing your heart out to your favorite Hebrew chant with us! Whether you are an expert or a first-timer, we welcome you! Lay led by Antonia Lassar. Light snacks are provided. For more information, please contact [email protected] *This event is fully indoors*

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.

Dates: 3/5, 3/12, 3/19, 3/26 No bacon cheeseburgers! No lobster! No chicken parmesan! We know that, but…what else exactly is going on with Kashrut? What can we learn about it in our ancient texts and what bearing does it have on our contemporary lives? Whether you’ve kept Kosher your whole life, or never plan to, together we’ll dive  into this age-old intentional eating practice of ours. Let’s see what we find!
