Sharon Brous (November 30, 1973) is an American rabbi who is the senior rabbi of IKAR, a Jewish congregation in Los Angeles. She was one of the founders of IKAR in 2004, along with Melissa Balaban, who currently serves as IKAR’s Chief Executive Officer, and others.
In 2013, The Daily Beast listed Brous as #1 on its list of America’s most influential rabbis; she ranked #5 on the same list in 2012. The publication wrote that “Ikar, the come-as-you-are spiritual community that Brous, 39, founded nearly a decade ago, has become a magnet for L.A.’s young, unaffiliated Jews” in a time when many synagogues face “disaffected, declining membership.”
