Boy from the North Country: A Novel Monday, July 20, 6:30 PM PT Join us for a conversation on Boy from the North Country, Sam Sussman’s debut novel, a work of autofiction inspired by his own life. The story centers on Evan, a young man who returns home to care for his dying mother and begins to uncover hidden pieces of her past, including a possible romantic relationship with Bob Dylan, whom strangers say he resembles. The novel explores love, loss, memory, art, and identity as Evan grapples with his mother’s secrets and his own inheritance. To RSVP/join, please email [email protected]

Earth Advocacy through conversation: What a great idea! Join our partner Jewish Earth Alliance at their (IKAR co-sponsored) Pre-Tisha b’Av Virtual Lobby Day on Tuesday, July 21 at 11am and 1pm PT to converse with our US senators’ staff–or just listen in, and wow them with our numbers! Let your reps hear what you want from them, AND what you appreciate from them. We’ll show a Jewish presence for our Jewish values of democracy and environmentalism!

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.
