IKAR
We believe that serious, passionate, and authentic engagement with Torah is an enduring response to the deepest cry of the human heart.
We believe that prayer and learning in a kehillah kedoshah, a holy community, can be soulful, inspiring, and profoundly impactful.
We believe that matters of the spirit are intimately linked to matters of the world, and that the Jewish community has a distinct responsibility to participate in social justice and tikkun, healing.
