A Message From Your Clergy Cantor Aviva Marer

Achat shaalti mei-eit Adonai otah avakeish; Shivti b’veit Adonai kol y’mei chayai, Lachazot b’no-am Adonai u’l’vakei b’heichalo.

Though the implication of this paragraph is that teshuvah is necessary, Rabbi Lew continues by pushing us to ask why we do what we do. He asks,

One thing I ask of Adonai, only that do I seek: To live in the house of Adonai all the days of my life, To gaze upon the beauty of Adonai, and to frequent God’s temple.

“If the purpose of ritual is to render the invisible visible, then what is the profound, universal, unseen, and unspoken reality that all of this ritual reflects? What journey of the soul, what invisible journey of transformation, does all of this make visible?”

(Psalm 27:4) These beautiful words provide the perfect backdrop to our final month of the liturgical year, Elul. The month of Elul signifies the opportunity to renew our souls and prepare ourselves internally for the High Holy Days. But how many of us take the time to do so? Amidst the craziness of summer coming to an end and perhaps getting our children ready to go back to school, how do we find time for mental and spiritual preparation? And if we do have the time, where would we even begin?

In his book entitled, This is Real and You are Completely Unprepared: The Days of Awe as a Journey of Transformation, Rabbi Alan Lew describes how our everyday lives seem to get in the way of preparing ourselves for the High Holy Days. He writes: “The walls of our soul begin to crumble and the first glimmerings of transformation – of teshuvah – begin to seep in. We turn and stop looking beyond ourselves. We stop defending ourselves. We stop blaming bad luck and circumstances and other people for our difficulties. We turn in and let the walls fall.”

3

While the title of the book is, perhaps intentionally, intimidating, Rabbi Lew forces us to ask the most important question of all: Why? Why do we go through hours of services and liturgy, fasting and praying? Why do we perform endless rituals through these Days of Awe? I believe that the answer to this question lies in the text of Psalm 27.

Ultimately, our enormous efforts through the High Holy Days are worthwhile when we feel that we are able to “live in the house of Adonai,” even if just for a moment. Whether dwelling in God’s metaphorical house is a peaceful moment, a sacred pause, or even just a second of muchneeded clarity, Judaism teaches us that dwelling in it is a worthwhile cause that ought to be pursued.

Just as we would not attend professional meetings or presentations unprepared for fear of disrespecting our coworkers, so too do we deserve the respect that comes with adequately preparing our souls for renewal. This year, as we gear up for one of the most meaningful times in the Jewish year, let’s give ourselves and those around us the gift of personal reflection and preparation.

Kein y’hi ratzon, May it be God’s will.

Majestic and Moist New Year's Honey Cake Cantor Emerita Janice Roger submitted this recipe, which comes from "Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking",

by Marcy Goldman.

Ingredients

One of the greetings used during the High Holy Days is, shanah tovah um'tukah.

It means, “May you have a good and sweet new year."

That sweetness is exemplified in many of the dishes connected to Rosh HaShanah, especially those that feature the deeply symbolic foods of honey and pomegranate. We asked IHC members to share their favorite Rosh HaShanah recipes with us, so that you and your family can start off the new year on a sweet note.

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup honey 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 3 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup warm coffee or strong tea 1/2 cup fresh orange juice 1/4 cup rye or whisky see note** 1/2 cup slivered or sliced almonds (optional)

Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease the pan(s). For tube and angel food pans, line the bottom with lightly greased parchment paper.

For loaf pans, grease and flour bottom and sides of pans.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.

Make a well in the center and add the oil, honey, sugars, eggs, vanilla, coffee, orange juice, and rye or whisky.

3. Using a strong wire whisk or an electric mixer on slow speed, combine the ingredients well to make a thick batter, making sure that no ingredients are stuck to the bottom of the bowl.

4. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan(s) and sprinkle the top of the cake(s) evenly with the almonds (if desired). Bake until the cake springs back when you touch it gently in the center. For angel and tube cake pans, bake for 60 to 70 minutes; loaf cakes, 45 to 55 minutes.

5. Let the cake stand for 15 minutes before removing it from the pan. Then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely. **Note: If you prefer not to use the whisky, replace it with orange juice or coffee.

Sephardic Jeweled Rosh HaShanah Rice Sonja Kantor submitted this recipe, which comes from Vicky Cohen and Ruth Fox on The Nosher on myjewishlearning.com.

Ingredients 1 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp sweet paprika 1/2 tsp turmeric 1/4 tsp cumin 1/8 tsp black pepper 4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil divided, plus 1 teaspoon 2 medium size onions, diced small 10 dried apricots, quartered 6 dried figs, quartered 1/4 cup dried cherries 1/4 cups pistachios or pumpkin seeds 1 cup long grain rice (like basmati or jasmine) 1 cup water 1 1/2 tsp fresh lemon or orange zest 1 cup pomegranate seeds

Directions 1. Combine salt, sweet paprika, turmeric, cumin and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep, non stick skillet with a lid. Add rice and spices and stir well. Cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly and making sure the rice gets well coated with the oil and the spices.

3. Add 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes, remove from heat and let it sit for 15 minutes covered.

4. In the meantime, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non stick skillet.

5. Add onions and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes stirring frequently, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time if necessary, to prevent from burning.

6. Transfer onions to a plate and in the same skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add dried fruit and pistachios or pumpkin seeds and cook over medium low for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

7. Once the rice is ready, fluff it with a fork, add onions, dried fruit, pistachios and lemon or orange zest and toss well.

8. Right before serving sprinkle pomegranate seeds on the rice.

Finding Home at IHC: Our Stories As asserted in IHC's mission statement, our synagogue, "is an inclusive Jewish community where all congregants matter, are inspired to action through Jewish values, and experience Judaism in a meaningful way."

What does that look like, exactly? It depends who you ask. Our Communications Specialist, Emily Kaufmann asked, speaking with five members of the congregation, about finding their home at IHC.

As their children grew, religious school kept them connected to temple- including Mary Rose, who worked as a second grade teacher. Since joining the IHC Board of Directors earlier this year, Eric says he never realized just how many ways one could get involved with IHC, “it seems difficult to think you wouldn’t be able to connect to some passion of yours through Circles or committees.”

Mary Rose feels similarly saying, “If your Judaism is important to you or there is some aspect of life that you want to pursue with other Jewish people.

IHC offers that access point.”

As the Simons Family think about the upcoming High Holy Days, they are thankful that IHC has opportunities like the Rosh HaShanah Retreat which, they say, allows their children to engage with the holiday in a way much different from traditional services at temple.

The Retreat, seeing members and clergy at the forefront of social action, and even baking hamantaschen, make Mary Rose “feel like you are able to live Judaism [at IHC] and not just go through the motions [of Judaism].”

Mary Rose & Eric Simons For Mary Rose and Eric Simons and their sons, Owen and Ari, IHC is home, even when their actual home was thousands of miles away from 6501 N. Meridian Street. In 2017, the Simons family moved to Puerto Rico, but continued their membership at IHC. During their time on the island, their oldest son Owen prepared to become a bar mitzvah. It was a multiple synagogue approach, which included IHC’s clergy team. When there was uncertainty about whether Owen’s bar mitzvah would be at IHC or at the synagogue in Puerto Rico, the Simons appreciated the clergy’s patience. “The clergy worked well together, no one made us choose… it was nice to have that extra support for Owen.”

Mary Rose and Eric appreciate that IHC is a community where there are so many ways to get involved, no matter where you are in life. When their sons were younger, that entry point was Tot Shabbat.

Linda & Bob Hewitt Linda and Bob Hewitt joined IHC about 4 years ago. Both previously lived in Chicagoland, where it was never hard to find a synagogue in close proximity (there were five temples within a square mile of their home). Linda admits, at first, she was dismayed to learn there are just a handful of congregations in the greater Indianapolis area. It was also difficult for Linda and Bob to replace the strong Jewish community they left behind in Illinois. For the then interfaith couple (Linda raised Reform, Bob raised Lutheran), it was important that their new congregation not just be a house of worship, but a place they could find community and make friends.

6

Shortly after becoming members, the COVID-19 pandemic began, which in a way, helped with their transition. Linda recalls, “IHC was doing so many things on Zoom. We were able to do those things and start feeling like [we were] more part of a community.” Once things reopened, Linda and Bob felt it was easier to connect with the faces they had seen on their computer screen. They both remember how people would bump into them at Oneg Shabbat and “really reached out to us.

They didn’t just say ‘oh hi’ then walk away.” The Hewitts say they felt that same warmth from IHC’s clergy. Bob would eventually approach Rabbi Krichiver about formally starting the conversion process. In reflecting on his journey to become Jewish, Bob says, “It [conversion] felt right. And IHC felt right.”

Both Bob and Linda now see IHC as their home.

Most importantly for Linda, IHC is a place where, “There is room for me to be my own Jew and to continue to be an evolving Jew.” Bob fully agrees.

While his Jewish journey focuses on social justice and tikkun olam, Bob learned through his involvement in Brit Olam’s listening campaign that “people aren’t necessarily looking for what I am looking for… [but] whatever you are looking for, you can find at IHC.”

Carly knew it was vital to sustain their connection to IHC after finishing the conversion process in March 2021, so they were proactive in finding ways to get involved. For Carly, that involvement ranges from attending Friday Shabbat services to starting the Ga’avah (Pride) Circle. Carly feels IHC is a supportive, encouraging environment where anyone can pursue ideas or passions. They like that at IHC, you can be curious, ask questions, and most importantly, you can come as you are.

Carly believes this synagogue not only has a welcoming atmosphere, but also is “good at welcoming people who relate to Judaism in all sorts of ways.”

After reading these stories, we hope you take a moment to reflect on your own connection and relationship with IHC: How does IHC let me experience Judaism in a way that is meaningful to me?

How does IHC inspire and support me in my Jewish life and journey?

What makes IHC my spiritual home?

Carly Traynor It was not difficult for Carly Traynor to feel at home at IHC. Raised Catholic, Carly (whose pronouns are they/them), says “the values espoused by Judaism” drew them in and inspired them to convert. Throughout the conversion process, they remember the guidance and support they received, as well as, building community from taking classes. Conversations with clergy made Carly feel at home too, since they felt IHC clergy is more personal and accessible than in other faith traditions. “It made me see there isn’t a hierarchy necessarily in Judaism,” they say, “Everyone is obligated to make their contributions and impacts 7 in whatever way they are called to do so.”

Your spiritual home is ready and excited to welcome you back for the High Holy Days. As our clergy and staff prepare for 5784, we cannot help but think about how your support allows IHC to extend its reach and grow, like a tree, with each passing year.

In making a contribution to this year's High Holy Day Appeal, our community can keep growing taller and stronger. Each contribution, no matter the size, is truly valued and appreciated.
