IKAR is a leading-edge Jewish community in Los Angeles that seeks to inspire people across the religious spectrum and is reverberating across the country. In a time of turmoil, uncertainty, and fierce polarization, we believe that religious communities must reemerge as voices of moral courage, sources of spiritual strength, and first responders to injustice, inequality, and indifference. IKAR is working to reanimate Jewish life, to reengage text and tradition not only so that we find personal meaning and connection, but also to help us decipher what it means to be a human being in the world today.
