The Weekly Parashah with Rabbi David Kasher (Co-Sponsored with Hadar)

In the Book of Genesis, humanity has multiple origin stories. What do these different stories teach us about our relationships with one another, our purpose on this planet, and the nature of God? Join Rabbinic Intern Jacob Schatz in conversation with Rabbi Brett Kopin from the Six11 Project.

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.

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.

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!
