WARDIERE INC YEAR 2024

A

FROM IHC BOARD PRESIDENT

This annual report will share stories, pictures, and numbers telling our 2022 story. Our real story is about you – all of our congregants who together make up our special community.

Let me start this look back at 2022 by saying thank you. We continue to thrive because of the time and creativity you give to IHC. Thank you to our many congregants who volunteer on committees, help with programs, or serve in leadership roles including our Board. Together, we all thrive from your time and talent. Thank you for the generous financial contributions you have given. They allow us to create opportunities for our community to come together and experience Judaism. Whether you give through an annual commitment, the High Holiday Appeal, fundraisers, or gifts to the Foundation and temple funds- I sincerely thank you.

We will remember 2022 as the year we truly came back together after two years of COVID19, which often kept us apart. This past fall, we were able to welcome congregants back to the temple for the High Holy Days. The clergy organized services, traditional and new alike, including our second GUCI Yom Kippur service Pete and his staff made sure our building shined in every way so we could enjoy being home again For those who preferred to pray from home, we offered livestreamed services, which former community members now living outside of Indiana viewed and shared with others

Our opportunities to come together kept growing Engagement Committee launched even more IHC Circles for people to connect and bond over common interests and stages of life Brit Olam was involved in a postcard campaign to boost voter turnout and kept its focus on homelessness in central Indiana

Social justice efforts also included the creation of the Tzedek Committee, which is leading a congregation-wide initiative to help reduce food insecurity. Parents and children enjoyed having the Jewish Learning Program back in the building. Our Adult Education classes expanded. Our Early Childhood Center grew steadily as families returned. My list could go on: Mitzvah Stitchers, Adamah, Sisterhood, Caring Community, Brotherhood, and so many others helped make 2022 so robust.

In November, we celebrated our more than tenyear partnership with Rabbi Krichiver. A wonderful group of volunteers organized a night of comedy and fundraising. This event demonstrated just how spectacular our community is. When a transformer blew at GUCI, congregants swiftly got together to move the whole event to IHC in a matter of hours. This was only possible because of a community which is connected and deeply cares.

As I look back on 2022, I also want to thank our clergy, executive director, office team, Jewish Learning Program team, maintenance, security staff, and the whole Early Childhood Center staff who work to serve us. They are dedicated to the IHC mission. They are responsible for the creativity which results in new opportunities, the planning that results in smooth operations, and the caring hearts that results in community.

I was limited to this short space so I know I missed remembering some and thanking others, but I hope not too many. 2023 will be an exciting year too, with work starting on projects to bring top-notch security to our temple and a better facility for our ECC program, all thanks to grant money. Please take advantage of the opportunities 2023 will present to connect and explore ways to live your life through the Jewish offerings we provide at IHC.

REFLECTION

OUR FINANCES

I am so incredibly proud that I get to serve as board treasurer for such a vibrant, diverse community like Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation. As treasurer, it has been one of my goals to create a culture of transparency when it comes to our synagogue’s finances. That means helping each of our member families understand what the sustaining annual commitment amount is, and why that amount can change from year to year. Frankly, before becoming treasurer, I was not sure myself of what giving at “sustaining amount” really meant.

IHC’s “sustaining amount” is the amount of money that each member family would need to give to temple to fund our congregational dayto-day operations without the need for additional fundraising. For 2023, the sustaining amount is $3,168. Conversations among key decision makers along with decisive number crunching help determine this amount each year. In keeping true to my goal

of transparency, I will admit, that before becoming a board member, I did not clearly understand why giving at sustaining amount was so vital to our synagogue’s prosperity. It simply means that IHC can fully and effortlessly live out its mission statement: from life cycles, to religious school, and everything in between, as seen in the graph on the righthand side of this page.

IHC believes that one’s financial ability should never be a barrier to entry into our community. Every dollar matters. Every gift counts. We are so appreciative of what everyone is able to give. My sincere ask is that if you are able, please consider increasing your annual commitment The same goes for those whose commitments have not changed in a number of years For years, my commitment remained unchanged, simply because I did not know just how much my dollar mattered Now, I do I hope you too understand the power of your annual commitment and how it strengthens our synagogue now and for years to come

My best,

RITUAL LIFE IN OUR OWN WORDS

2022 marked another of inspiring moments together in prayer and song. Having congregants back in the pews for Friday evening Shabbat services has been wonderful. The High Holy Days were filled with the energy of a full sanctuary, something we all desperately needed and greatly missed. What was even more meaningful was knowing that hundreds more chose to mark this sacred time of year with us through our livestream.

This year was marked by the return of family Shabbat experiences; guest speakers and artist such as singer Elana Arian and a wide variety of educational and inspirational experiences inside our sanctuary, in our city, and online.

We are grateful that you are a part of IHC’s sacred congregation - our kehila kadosha - not only for prayer and learning, but also for the many ways this community holds us up during difficult times, and celebrates with us during the best of times This year was also filled with joyous weddings, b’nai mitzvah, baby namings and conversion celebrations We have all been so very inspired this year

And when plans needed to pivot quickly, our team learned how to do just that, making sure every experience - services, classes and programs were just as meaningful online as in person. We even got to experience “Shabbat in the Park” in the social hall and online this year! Rain showers may have forced us indoors, but under our galaxy lights, the warmth and spirit of Shabbat was felt by all.

In the coming months, expect continued innovation in Shabbat and holiday programming Expect more focus on social justice issues like food insecurity and access to reproductive health care, and expect opportunities to roll up your sleeves and take part Our community continues to gain strength in powerful ways. We look forward to sharing our passion with you, as we go from strength to strength.

EDUCATION IN OUR OWN WORDS

For the past seven years, I’ve taught religious school at the synagogue, and it's some of the most gratifying “work'' I do I teach sixth grade, and this year I have 19 kids I began teaching when my cousin, who I’d always admired for being a longtime religious school teacher, asked me to teach I immediately said yes, though I’d never taught anything and was pretty clueless I don't know that I'm better now, but I sure enjoy it And the kids well, no one's falling asleep in class

I don't remember what I taught that first day seven years ago; I do recall telling the kids I wasn't going to be lecturing, rather I'd introduce a 'nugget' (an assigned topic), then we'd discuss it That's what I've done every class since, and I've yet to have anyone doze off, or even stare out the windows My style's unorthodox, if it's even a style, but it seems to work More often than not, the discussion gets going, the kids engage and ask questionseven of each other - and we run out of time At their ages (11 and 12), it's a pivotal year in religious school, right before their bar or bat mitzvahs I hope to do my small part preparing them, especially as public speakers, which for the most part, I do without them realizing they’re speaking publicly By the time we're a few weeks into the religious school year, my kids are used to speaking in front of each other, even debating one another

I also enjoy when a shy student comes out of his or her shell I was a shy kid, and I think being that way has made me more empathetic, and maybe a better teacher I also get a kick out of seeing disruptive students become engaged and forget to be troublemakers I always say at the beginning of the school year, if you want to participate, great, and if you don't, that’s OK, but don't ruin it for those of us who do

I treasure the notes I've received over the years from my students and their parents It’s so gratifying, teaching I love when my former students drop in and say hi, and I enjoy seeing ‘my’ seventh graders every week in the sanctuary for T’filah and Boker Tov

Above all, teaching has shown me how sharp and inquisitive IHC middle schoolers are, and I always learn more from them than they do from me There’s a quote that says “When one teaches, two learn,” and so, I'd like to thank my class this year, and all the kids I’ve had the privilege to teach the past seven years: You’re all an inspiration and a blessing

JLP students in Spring '22: 185 JLP students in Fall '22: 186 2022 b'nai mitzvah students: 25 NUMBERS OF NOTE

I began exploring conversion to Judaism in March 2021. After approximately a month of reading and attending virtual Shabbat services, I could tell that the Jewish community was where I needed to be, and with the support of Rabbi Roxanne, I began the formal process of converting to Judaism.

In addition to guiding me into a new spiritual home, Rabbi Roxanne also helped me heal. My last religious world was Mormonism; being a gay man and a faithful Mormon was harrowing. When I began to tiptoe out of the closet, my religious leaders threatened me with excommunication, making it abundantly clear that because I was gay, I was not welcome. Therefore, even though I knew that Reform Judaism was inclusive of LGBTQIA+ people before I ever reached out to Rabbi Roxanne, it was hard to make myself vulnerable and ask a new religious leader to allow me into their space.

Through our regular one-on-one meetings and Intro to Judaism classes, Rabbi Roxanne made me feel like there was a place in Judaism for me because of my sexuality--not in spite of it. I was able to process the pain that Mormonism inflicted upon me and grow into a person who is able to be fully queer and fully Jewish at the same time.

On May 25, 2022, I had my beit din and mikveh. For my Hebrew name, I chose Chever Tavas. Tavas means “peacock” in Hebrew, and I intentionally chose this as an homage to my queer identity. As we were leaving the mikveh together, Rabbi Roxanne said, “Congratulations Chever Tavas, and welcome home,” cementing my place as a gay Jewish man.

Our family has been attending IHC-ECC since August 2019. Our oldest son, Tyler, had three wonderful classroom teachers and many other teachers who supported his growth, development and love for school. Our youngest daughter, Courtney, is currently in the 3 year old llama classroom. IHC-ECC's awesome teachers, programs and activities have made learning fun! We are so fortunate to have found a home away from home at IHC-ECC for our children to learn and grow Thank you to the wonderful teachers and staff for all they do!

We cannot express enough gratitude for IHC ECC We feel so blessed to have found ECC after moving to Indianapolis last year We felt welcomed and a part of the community right away The teachers and staff treat our daughter like family and give her the attention she needs and they know how to make learning fun and enjoyable Rose and Jessica have both had a positive impact on Margot’s growth since she started attending ECC We were very worried about having our daughter switch schools due to moving to a new state, but it was such an easy transition for our family Our daughter truly felt at home and a part of the class her very first day Rose and Jessica communicate with us on a daily basis and are always there to support our daughter, but also us as parents.

We have seen such a positive impact and growth in our daughter since she started attending ECC. She is learning manners, how to count, the colors, animals and animal sounds, and so much more. Most importantly, she is learning how to have fun and make friends. The diverse and accepting atmosphere has also allowed our daughter to learn about and appreciate different cultures and traditions. ECC has provided our child with a safe and nurturing environment to grow and learn. We most certainly feel so lucky we are a part of this school and community.

ENGAGEMENT IN OUR OWN WORDS

For many years, when I said the word “engagement,” I was met with either a blank stare or an eye roll, there she goes again But engagement isn’t simply soft heartedness nor is it a mystery Engagement is intentionally building relationships and connections

When my parents were starting their married life in Indianapolis, they weren’t welcome to join local swimming or country clubs Rather, their friends, social life, and community were exclusively centered on IHC

IHC Circles or small groups are an exceptional way to connect with people and build friendships. They are also a great way to make a large congregation like IHC seem much smaller and more accessible. IHC Circles are conceived and led by us (members) and are formed around common interests and experiences, ages and stages of life, and professions. Ideas for IHC Circles are endless and come from you.

Right now, there are circles for hikers, card sharks, wine lovers, families with young children, young professionals, adventurous eaters, mental health professionals, and many more. Join a circle or bring your own idea and see for yourself how getting to know others at IHC makes a difference in your life. It’s so clear, you belong at IHC!

Times have changed, thank goodness, and the happy news is that Jews are more broadly accepted. And the challenging news is that Jews are more broadly accepted so that now, we build relationships and forge friendship at work, in civic organizations, volunteering with nonprofits … not solely at the synagogue.

As a result, we must be intentional about connecting people with other people, with IHC, and with Jewish life. Like the bar in Cheers, it’s more meaningful to be at IHC when somebody knows your name and you know theirs.

When my family and I began attending services at IHC, it didn’t take long for me to realize that I had found a spiritual home. Something that was equally important to me when joining IHC was to feel like I was truly part of a community. That is what being involved with Sisterhood has done for me, personally. IHC is a wonderfully vibrant community with many ways to be involved. There are several programs that have made my family feel welcome and engaged with the IHC community. However, as a stay at home mom, I wanted to make sure I found a place for myself that allowed me to be something other than someone’s mother. Attending Sisterhood events has given me the opportunity to get to know women I may have not otherwise gotten to meet and has helped me form new friendships. Volunteering through Sisterhood, perhaps selfishly, is one of my favorite activities. While I may be giving my time to do something helpful, I am getting much more out of these experiences than I am giving. I am able to get out of the house, spend time talking with other adults and on days when I have to bring my now 5 month old along, everyone is always excited to see her. Getting involved with Sisterhood has been the best thing for my mental health since my youngest was born and for that I am eternally grateful.

The highlight of my 2022 was my increased involvement in the IHC community. I have happy memories of growing up attending this synagogue with my family. My husband and our sons now share my deep connection to IHC and are enjoying new experiences as members. We look forward to singing along with friends at Tot Shabbat each month. Last year, I was searching for my own way to contribute and connect with the Jewish community that means so much to our family. I engaged with the temple Sisterhood and felt immediately welcomed and embraced. I joined the Social Action Committee and was moved by the significant impact of the programs that this group makes possible. I especially enjoyed participating in donating Thanksgiving baskets to Greenbriar families. Throughout my experience with this committee, I am reminded of how important it is to care for the members of our community in need.

A huge benefit of this experience has been the frequent opportunities that Sisterhood provides to gather and celebrate with strong women guided by Jewish values. I enjoyed attending events such as Hanukkah Sip & Shop and Sisters in the Sukkah. I was able to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. I highly recommend involvement with Sisterhood to strengthen our community, connect with inspiring women, and have fun!

Shortly after arriving to Indianapolis and joining IHC in September 2021, I became an active member of the Brit Olam social justice committee After IHC’s social justice task force commissioned a congregational listening campaign on social justice, I joined a small team that reached more than 150 congregants and conducted nearly 50 long-form conversational interviews to discuss how IHC should address social justice

With those survey results identifying voting rights as an issue of broad concern among the congregation, I organized three events postcard-writing events that dozens of members took part in. The goal was to connect with voters from historically suppressed communities and encourage them exercise their right to vote. For me, tikkun olam (repair the world) is the one Jewish value that has always stuck out to me. It has been a nobrainer to do what I can to make this world better for others. IHC is a place where people can embrace social justice, in its many forms, and feel like they are truly making an impact in our community.

On this team, I used my experience in political science and data analytics to draft several survey designs, data analysis, and presentation materials for the larger IHC community, while also engaging with dozens of members to create stronger relationships.

Getting involved and feeling part of IHC has never been easier thanks to: IHC Sisterhood, IHC Brotherhood, Mitzvah Stitchers, Brit Olam, Adamah (earth), Jewish Book Club, IHC Choir, 65th Street Klezmorim, Engagement Committee and its IHC Circles of Global Dining Explorers, Mahjongg Mavens, Mental Health Professionals, Take A Hike...Together, Young Couple, and Young Family Adventures.
