Over Shabbat lunch, get to know fellow IKARites who have joined in the last year! We’ll also have a new member Aliyah (subject to change day-of).

Every Saturday morning at 9am, join Dev Brous and/or Dr. Barry Goldstein for a weekly meditation on the Shalhevet rooftop. And find your way to sip some homemade herbal tea blends, FromSoil2Soul, near the coffee station in the kitchen.

After Services, join us in person or on YouTube for a book talk with author Karen Baum Gordon. About: Karen is the daughter of Rudolf Baum, a Holocaust survivor whose thwarted efforts to save his parents had multigenerational effects. The Last Letter: A Father’s Struggle, a Daughter’s Quest, and the Long Shadow of the Holocaust focuses on the story of Karen’s father and the long shadow of the Holocaust that took the lives of her grandparents and irrevocably altered her father’s life and her own. Based on archival documents, correspondence and photos, the book is about relationships, forgiveness, and the perseverance to learn more about a loved one’s story.

A powerful first-hand account from Adnan Jaber, a Palestinian from East Jerusalem, Tech2Peace alumnus and board member, and Esti Shohat Rozenfeid, a Jewish Israeli and CEO of Tech2Peace. Together, they will share how Tech2Peace continues to co-create and co-learn across divides, building bridges across the region even amid the fragile ceasefire and the challenges following October 7th. Their joint story reflects how dialogue, empathy, and innovation can help rebuild trust and hope in these complex times.
