Devorah Brous

Sister of Rabbi Sharon, Dev is an urban homesteader, a certified Compassionate Bereavement Care Counselor and the creator of FromSoil2Soul, a regenerative healing practice where she facilitates 1:1s and collective healing journeys for grief tending and soul nourishment.
Prior to immersing in the ikar community, Dev worked on the frontlines in Israel/Palestine for 15 years where she founded a grassroots multi-faith nonprofit that advanced land rights and environmental justice before returning to LA to run the nonprofit, Netiya. Dev has two Master’s degrees in Conflict Resolution and Development Studies. Her expertise is in advancing non-hierarchical frameworks for deep listening that center belonging. She has trained extensively in listening and is certified as a teacher of Jewish mindfulness meditation, Council practice, Authentic Relating, Non-Violent Communication (NVC), and Compassionate Listening.
Married to Larry Weber, and mama of two athletes, Sela and Zeke, when Dev is not davening at ikar, she can be found cheering the kids on at a tournament, or stuck in traffic on the 101. And on any Shabbat, don’t forget to try a cup of the homegrown herbal tea she brews weekly for the ikar community!
