IKAR

IKAR is inspiring a revitalization of Jewish tradition through reigniting a commitment to core Jewish ideas of community, ritual, learning, and social responsibility. We are a vibrant, diverse, multi-generational community in Los Angeles that fosters a yearning for deeper engagement in Jewish life, particularly among young and disaffected Jews. And we are helping to lead a growing national effort to develop a spiritual roadmap for soulful, multi-faith justice work around the country. In a time of turmoil, uncertainty, and fierce polarization, we believe that faith communities must reemerge as voices of moral courage, sources of spiritual strength, and first responders to injustice, inequality, and indifference.

IKAR is nationally acclaimed Jewish community in Los Angles that stands at the intersection of faith and justice and is dedicated to reinvigorating community, ritual and learning as we work toward building a just society. Since 2004, IKAR has helped fuel an emergent trend toward the revitalization of Jewish and progressive faith communities across America, and we are working with multifaith partners nationwide to awaken a commitment to soulful, intentional, networked, moral leadership
