NOSHERIZE

Nosherize Here at IKAR we believe that food and community go hand in hand. Sponsor a kiddush or oneg to celebrate a special occasion or a special person.

"The meaning of the Sabbath is to celebrate time rather than space. Six days a week we live under the tyranny of things of space; on the Sabbath we try to become attuned to holiness in time. It is a day on which we are called upon to share in what is eternal in time, to turn from the results of creation to the mystery of creation; from the world of creation to the creation of the world."

Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Sabbath
