Taste of Olam Haba

09/06/2026

On Yom Kippur, we remember loved ones of blessed memory during Yizkor.

This year, we will be sharing names and images of loved ones who have died in years past. We will make a slideshow of all the submissions and add the photos to our sukkah.

Please add your loved ones to the form below, even if you aren't able to join us in-person. Giving in memory of a loved one is a meaningful mitzvah. The suggested gift is $18 per name/photo.

At a time when anti-Muslim rhetoric and fear are being spewed by those at the highest levels of power in Arkansas and the US, we all have a responsibility to stand in solidarity with our neighbors.

When we needed a space to gather for the holiest day of the Jewish year, Madina Institute Arkansas USA gave us space for Kol Nidre. When we wanted to share our vision of Jewish and Palestinian freedom after October 7, the Islamic Center of Little Rock welcomed us for our Passover Seder.

We are blessed to be in community with Muslims. We have prayed together, learned from each other, and stood together in the streets.

As our sage Rabbi Hillel reminds us: “What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. This is the whole Torah. All the rest is commentary.”

May we build a future grounded in our shared humanity where all of our communities can live with safety, dignity, and freedom.

Throwback to last year's Tashlich in the park 🌊

This year we are offering tailored kids and family programming for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot!

We want our children to grow up to fall in love with Torah, with Jewish community, with asking big questions, singing together, celebrating together, and discovering that Jewish life belongs to them.

In partnership with Simchat Diaspora and communities across the country, we have curriculum and tools for us to build a vibrant, intergenerational Jewish life. We want you to join us.

Get your High Holiday tickets now and bring the whole family. 💛

Comrades, cherished community, chevruta, the 11th annual Radical Jewish Calendar is here!! 🎉 You can now pre-order the 5787 calendar on Buy Olympia. Organized by Jewish month, layering Jewish and Gregorian dates, astrology, holidays, and political history. 13 months (it’s a Jewish leap year!) of political art, culture, and history made by dreamers, artists, and organizers who want to know what time it is.

Cover art by Luis Mercedes Winter! Here is what Luis shares about this year’s cover:

“‘Moses of the City’ is from my photobook Haggadah of the same name, which features a modern day interpretation of the Exodus story using original writing with staged images, alongside documents of protest from 2020-2021. Every generation is tasked with making Judaism our own and finding how it applies to today; I use my Art to do so. I imagine our stories with us at their center: Q***r and Radical.”

Shabbat inspiration ✨

On the 61st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, organizer Heather Booth reminds us that democracy is something we build together.

"When we organize with love at the center, we can win."

Happiest of birthdays to our founder and Spiritual Leader, Stephanie!

As many in our community know, Stephanie is living with stage 4 uterine sarcoma. They are now home recovering from major surgery, during which doctors were able to remove a significant amount of the cancer, though not as much as they had hoped. Preventable errors were made during the surgery, which also led to additional complications, making an already difficult recovery even harder.

Stephanie will need ongoing home health care and continued cancer treatment. On their birthday, please consider supporting them and helping ease some of the financial burden ahead.
