VOICE
VOTE FOR ARZA
“It is not your duty to complete the work, neither are you
free to desist from it.” Many of us know this verse from Pirkei
Avot, the Chapters of our Ancestors, as a song we learned as
children (Lo alecha ham’lacha ligmor). The words are often lost
amidst a bouncy melody. But that verse contains a powerful
comfort for those of us who see our world’s problems as
insurmountable. It is easy to feel that there is nothing we
can do to help our society move forward. It is difficult not to
allow the enormity of war and terrorism to cause us to freeze
up and become numb. Our ancestors knew this frustration
as well and tried to remind us that we cannot allow apathy
and fear to direct our efforts. Instead we must continually
respond to the still small voice that compels us to work for
change, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
For many years we have longed for a democratic State of Israel,
and watched with growing weariness as right-wing radical
Jews strengthened their power base instead. But today, there
is a growing majority who share a strong progressive voice
for Israel.
Right now, the American Zionist Movement is holding
elections to determine US Jewish representation to the World
Zionist Congress, which will decide how resources from
American Jewish communities are allocated in Israel. In short,
the more seats won by the Reform movement in America, the
more the Reform movement in Israel will be strengthened. If
we believe in justice, equality and democracy for Israel, now
is the time to make our voices heard.
ARZA, the American Reform Zionists of America, is the Zionist
arm of the Reform movement, representing 1.5 million
Reform Jews in North America.
To be clear, a vote for ARZA is a vote for women’s rights,
gender equality, religious equality, and a two-state solution
for peace among Jews and Palestinians. It is not necessary to
be a member of ARZA to vote. Any Jewish U.S. citizen over
the age of 18 can vote. There is nothing more tangible, more
concrete you can do today to live your values. Cast your
vote and then encourage others to vote. If social activism
inspires you, ARZA’s website has tools for informing others
about ARZA’s mission through social media, and there are
suggestions for additional ways to get more involved with
the campaign.
When we strengthen ARZA’s voice in the World Zionist
Organization, funds from the Jewish National Fund, the Jewish
Agency, and the Israeli government flow towards Israeli
agencies that advocate for Reform Jewish values throughout
Israeli society. In addition to visiting and fundraising, this vote
is the most important way to move Israel toward the Jewish
homeland we still dream is can become.
To vote before the end of April, visit one of these websites:

CHANTS ENCOUNTERS
by Cantor Janice Roger
On February 18, the Hebrew month of Adar begins. It is the last of
the 12 months of the calendar year. According to rabbinic tradition,
Moses died on the seventh of Adar. However, the month of Adar
is when we celebrate the holiday of Purim—the most joyous feast day in our annual
cycle. Of this month, it is said, “When Adar arrives, joy increases.”
According to the Sefer Y’tzirah—the Book of Creation (a mystical text)—each month
has a corresponding letter of the Hebrew alphabet, a zodiac sign, one of the twelve
tribes of Israel, a sense, and a controlling organ/limb of the body. Exploring a few of
these opens up our eyes to new elements of the month of Adar as well as the Purim
story.
65TH STREET KLEZMORIM
ON THE ROAD
The letter which relates to Adar is the kuf; the word "kuf" means "monkey." Monkeys
often clown around and make people laugh—a fitting activity for the month when
joy increases. The shape of the letter resembles a mask on a stick. Wearing costumes,
masking one’s identity, also is part of Purim festivities. The masquerade reflects the
element of the story whereby Esther is instructed (by Mordecai) not to reveal that she
is a Jew.
Pisces, the sign of the Zodiac represented by a fish, is assigned to the month of Adar.
In Kabbalah, fish swimming in the sea symbolize a concealed reality. The Hebrew word
for "fish"—dag—is similar to the word for "worry"—da’ag. On Purim, Esther’s hidden
identity, when revealed, changes the worry of potential annihilation into the joy of
redemption.
Finally, laughter is the sense which is associated with the month of Adar. It is our
exuberant laughter as we read of the foibles of Achashveirosh, as we hear once again
that good has triumphed over evil that expresses the true joy of Adar. The tradition of
the Purimspiel—the play which pokes fun at the ancient story—is a valuable addition
to our arsenal of behaviors for a joyous Purim.
As Adar begins, may it truly be a month when our joy increases!
TEMPLE LIBRARY
It’s February and we are in the midst of the annual Religious
School-Temple Library sponsored reading incentive program.
This year’s theme is based on a very popular movie and
encourages wintertime reading; FROZEN??? Read Jewish Books—
They’re THAWsome! We hope your children are participating.
Many students use this opportunity to earn reading credits for
their weekday schools as well as credit toward a Religious School
grade pizza party and individual toy and book prizes. Contact the
librarian with any questions.
WHAT’S NEW
One of the larger groupings in the nonfiction section of the library
focuses on books highlighting Jewish history. Here is a short tour
of some representative titles.
Jewish History in 100 Nutshells, by Naomi Pasachoff and Robert J.
Littman, covers events in the Jewish world from biblical times to
the end of the 20th century. Chapters are brief and easy to read.
The Origins of the Inquisition in Fifteenth Century Spain, is B.
(Benzion) Netanyahu’s controversial magnum opus on the plight
of the conversos and the role of anti-semitism in Spain. A scholar
IHC’s klezmer band has gotten its act
together and is taking it on the road.
Sunday, February 22, the band will
be featured at the Strand Theatre in
Shelbyville, Indiana. Appearing on
the same bill will be violinist Steven
Greenman along with Kurt Bjorling,
clarinet, and Annette Bjorling, harp. The
concert is open to the public and free!
For more information, go to www.strandtheatre-shelbyville.org.
on Sephardic Jewry, Netanyahu (Jonathan and Benjamin’s father)
taught at Dropsie College, the University of Denver and Cornell
University.
The Holocaust, compiled and presented by Jeff Hill, is a primary
sourcebook for high school students and adults and contains
many notable documents including the Nuremberg laws, Nazi
instructions for Kristalnacht, and memoirs from the Warsaw
Ghetto.
For a personal Holocaust recollection, read Shanghai Refuge:
A Memoir of the World War II Jewish Ghetto, written by
Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation member Ernest G. Heppner
in the early1990s. Ernie died in 2004, so for many of our newer
congregants this would be a first opportunity to encounter a
fascinating remembrance of what happened to him at age 14 in
Breslau, Germany after being expelled from school because he
was a Jew.
Six Days of War: June 1967 and the Making of the Modern Middle
East, is former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael B.
Oren’s astute and dramatic history of the war and its ramifications.
Oren, American-born and educated, served as a paratrooper in
the Israel Defense Forces during the 1982 Lebanon War.

TEMPLE LIBRARY (continued)
Jewish Museums of North America: A Guide to Collections, Artifacts, and Memorabilia, by
Nancy Frazier, is one of many travel books the library collection owns. Frazier describes
more than one hundred museums and collections both from famous and little-known
Jewish museums in the United States and Canada.
The Wonder of America: Reinventing Jewish Culture 1880-1950, is Jenna Weissman Joselit’s
history of how people lived during this 70 year period and how they adapted their religious
practices and customs to the daily life in America. The writing is lively and informative.

SISTERHOOD
Amy Isaacs, IHC Sisterhood President; amyisaacs2260@gmail.com
OUR MISSION
To join together in Sisterhood and, guided by the
principles of Reform Judaism, to strengthen our
congregation, our community and ourselves.
Lisa Deremiah, Karen Schiffer and their
committee of helpers—Bennie Silver,
Esther Fishman, Stefany Mitlak, Nancy
Ratner, Marcia Ruderman, Stefani Schaffer,
Hollie Gosset, Shirley Backer, Judie
Doehrman, Suzan Feurer, Lynn Slivka,
Robin Weiss, and Amber Comer’s third
grade religious school class!
MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Message from the President:
At this time, all women of IHC should have received the 2015 Sisterhood dues statement
that was mailed in December. I want to thank everyone who has already taken care of
their dues for 2015! We have many plans for this New Year and we cannot achieve our
goals without your support. If you have not yet sent in your dues I hope that this will be
the gentle reminder you need. If you are still deciding if you want to join, here is a recap
of the last few months of Sisterhood activities to entice you.
Sisterhood has had a very busy past few months. We celebrated Sukkot with our Sisters
in the Sukkah event; we published and distributed our new Sisterhood cookbook (which
is full of wonderful recipes from Sisterhood members and still available for purchase);
we served many pancakes to our Religious School children and families; along with
Brotherhood, we hosted a staff appreciation lunch; we offered beautiful furs, purses, and
jewelry for our two-day Collectors Closet event where $10,000 was collected from our
sales; we had our second annual Hanukkah sale in the Gift Shop for Sisterhood members;
we collected gifts for two families in need in our community to help make their holidays
just a bit happier; and we collected over 800 books which were distributed at Greenbriar
Elementary School the week before the school’s holiday vacation. Each student was able
to select one book to take home. That same week we also provided bags of food to more
than 90 Greenbriar students, many of whom do not have meals for the weekends. We
have been able to receive enough donations to provide food for these families during
their fall and winter breaks and will be doing the same in the spring.
As you can see, we have so many opportunities for our Sisterhood members to be a part
of something. From social activities to social action, and from fun to fundraising: please
join us! There are many ways to find your niche in Sisterhood.
I want to take a minute to acknowledge everyone who has helped with the Greenbriar
Project; your contributions led to a wonderful morning filled with so many smiles:

LILITH SALON
SOCIAL ACTION
Hello Sisterhood members! We are
starting a new Sisterhood gathering
called a Lilith Salon. We will discuss
articles and issues included in
the Lilith Magazine, which is a
wonderful magazine for Reform
Jewish women. Lilith magazine
was first published in the 1970s
and focuses on Jewish women.
The magazine’s website states that
Lilith Magazine is for: “Everyone
interested in family politics, Jewish
hair, race and reconciliation,
new liturgies, good advice,
fabulous fiction, parenting now, marriage equality, feminist
philanthropy, sex, food—and so much more.” See more at:
http://lilith.org/salons/#sthash.czTmInxH.dpuf
The Social Justice Committee wants to thank everyone who
has ...
The magazine focuses on social issues, religious issues, writing
and poetry, travel, parenthood, food, and entertainment. There
are four issues per year, and each Lilith Salon meeting will focus
on an article or two. We will meet bi-monthly, rotating between
members’ homes and IHC. It will be like a book club, but with
less content to focus on and a bit more fun!
Care to join us? Want more info? Contact Rosanne Marusa at
ermarusa@frontier.com, or Jenny Angel-Reece at jenny.angel@

Happy New Year!
Patriots did what the Patriots do. Better luck next year. Oh
well, the Seahawks Packers game was an incredible ending
and just goes to show you in sport as in life "never give up".
I waited until after the board meeting to give you an
update. The Search Committees for both the Associate
Rabbi and Director of Life Long Learning have been busy
over the holidays. We hope to announce the hiring of
a new Associate Rabbi in the next week or so. I want to
thank in advance the diligent work of the committee. They
interviewed many candidates. Once they knew who they
wanted they executed a plan and went out and wowed
him. We all should be proud as he had many choices and
when it came down to decision time he felt the IHC family
was the easy choice.
We are welcoming to the congregation, the weekend of
Feb 6th-8th, Rabbi Lauren Cohn and her husband Matt.
Rabbi Lauren is a candidate for the DLL position. You will
see more details of their visit in the next couple weeks but
we would love for you to join us for Shabbat on the 6th or
come by and visit with Lauren during RS on Sunday the 8th.

IHC KULANU • FEBRUARY 2015
Rabbi Brett had his first open coffee roundtable last
Wednesday. Half dozen congregants showed up. Rabbi
Brett's hope is as the word of mouth spreads and as we
publicize the times more, you will come by and take some
time to chat. There is no agenda just a chance to discuss
any topic on your mind.
If any of you are around the office please congratulate
Erni Slater on her new position as Clergy Assistant. In any
organization it's nice to promote from within and we are
excited for Erni.
Finally, I think it is worth mentioning we welcomed 30 new
families to IHC in 2014!! I know each family had choices and
we are excited they chose IHC. We need all of you to either
turn in your commitment card for 2015 or contact Lynda
ASAP. It is an important part of the financial budget process
for us to get as accurate a dues commitment number as
possible. Please respond
I hope you all have a wonderful week

I can’t believe it’s already February of 2015. Where is the time
going? Oh it’s going with the kids. They sure are a busy group.
Between bowling and planning for Spring Kallah, there’s also a little
stretching going on. Our youth never seem to sleep how can they
with all this excitement happening for them. I know it’s cold and
no one really wants to be out in it, but come on, look at what we
have happening. Just a thought as to what’s coming up, PURIM!! It
will be here before you know it and we are busy preparing for the
spiel and carnival. Come dressed as King Achashveirosh or Queen
Esther and let’s not forget HAMAN (BOOOOO). The carnival will
begin as always after the reading and lunch will be provided by
Brotherhood! As always, my door is open to anyone. I hope that
everyone is staying warm and having a great year thus far.
