May our prayers for justice be the steady current that carries us through the days ahead.

More about our prayer services, community, and access
D'ror Yikra is Jewish spiritual prayer community, grounded in tradition and sacred creativity. We devote ourselves to imagined and re-imagined Jewish practice, not looking away from the tough bits but wrestling with them. We are a community of misfits and freaks; visionaries and prophets; exiled and fugitives; those who have been pushed out, those who have left running. We are here to reclaim our roots. We seek to align our spiritual practices with our deeply held values. We are a proclamation of freedom. We are anti zionist and collective liberationist. All are welcome.
Our services are rooted in traditional Jewish liturgy. We strive to dive deep into traditional choreography of the prayer services as well as weave in new songs and expressions that speak to this moment.
This community is part of many lineages: spiritual, cultural, chosen, received. You can expect a blend of Traditional-Egalitarian, Jewish Renewal, Kohenet, pre-Rabbinic earth-based practices, and a fierce thread of prayers tying us to movements and struggles for freedom, for the liberation of Palestine and all people, and for praying our way into a vibrant, liberatory, diasporist new vision of Jewish culture, reclaiming our Judaism from the violent grips of zionism.
With deep love for our immunocompromised and disabled community members, we ask that all who are able wear masks for the duration of the service, to please do so. We will have masks on hand for those who need them. We will ensure that the air is filtered.
This is a scent free space.
Childminding will be available for the duration of the service & we love when young ones bring their voices and wisdom into the service.
