A Message From Your Clergy Senior Rabbi Brett Krichiver

If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its cunning, If I do not remember you, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth If I do not place Jerusalem over my greatest joy.

(Ps. 137) Our ancestors, mourning the loss of the Temple from their captivity in Babylonia, wrote these words as an expression of loss and longing. For two thousand years that followed, the Jewish people wandered from state to state, from one persecution to another, culminating in the worst genocide in human history.

For generations, these facts have been integral chapters in the narrative of our people.

When I was a child, great educational emphasis was placed on the connection between the Shoah – the Holocaust – and our strength as a people. The State of Israel was seen as the greatest miracle of the 20th century – a place for our dreams and ambitions of autonomy, security and Jewish creativity to blossom. And the past seventy five years have proven, that those dreams are real; our ambitions fulfilled.

Alongside the pride and comfort we all should feel about our Jewish homeland, the issues which have plagued Israel since statehood in 1948 have persisted as well. Without a meaningful constitution or bill of rights, questions of identity politics and religious definitions have gone unanswered. And for the first time, as the percentages of Reform Jewish communities in Israel are greater than that of those affiliated with ultra-orthodox groups, tensions have spilled over into Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, and into the streets. Mass protests continue each week on the streets of every major Israeli city. And the rights of Palestinians who continue to call Israel or the occupied territories their home are now wrapped up in this larger battle to define Israeli society by democratic standards as well as Jewish ones.

Each summer the Reform movement sends our teens to Israel to experience the miracle firsthand.

They tour and study, meet Israelis their own age, and connect with their “homeland” in deep ways. And they do engage with these existential questions every summer. Many of our kids have had lifechanging experiences, but having my daughter on the trip this year meant that I saw those experiences in much more detail. This year, groups were given the opportunity to visit Poland for a week first.

Walking through the Warsaw Ghetto, and visiting the Tykocin synagogue, our children followed in the footsteps of seventeen hundred Jews who were marched into the Lupachova forest and killed. After a short ceremony of remembrance, their group did what our ancestors could not – they walked out of the forest together. They then visited Maidanek concentration camp and Auschwitz, as well as Oskar Schindler’s factory in Krakow. What more powerful way to bear witness to these devastating tragedies than to experience them firsthand.

As I write this, the group is still in Poland, and I do not know what my daughter’s experience of Israel will be. I only know that, for all its flaws, the State of Israel remains a miracle. It is a miracle of thriving Jewish culture and religion, a miracle of technology and innovation, and a miracle of Jewish survival after unimaginable destruction, hatred and terror. We forget that without the strength Israel provides, current trends of antisemitism would certainly swell out of control around the world, even here in Indiana.

We are Klal Yisrael – the one people of Israel, and the destiny of Jews in Indiana is inextricably linked to our future in the homeland for all Jews. The issues Israel faces are going to require the participation of the entire Jewish community to solve, especially our liberal, American Jewish community. We have a great deal to teach Israel about what it means to be Jewish and democratic. And yes, both are possible – and both are vital. May peace come swiftly to all Israel’s inhabitants and to all who dwell on earth.

What motivated you to join the IHC Board of Directors?

IHC is important and vital to our community- I wanted to be a part of its continued growth and success. (It takes a village).

I have been involved in temple Sisterhood for around 40 years, and it is very dear to my heart.

Name: Drew Soshnick

Name: Jennifer Vigran

Hometown: Zionsville, IN

Hometown: Cleveland, OH

55 years of membership at IHC

33 years of membership at IHC

What motivated you to join the IHC Board of Directors?

IHC has been lacking a respectful, vocal conservative voice to state concern over the overpoliticization of Reform Judaism, myopic focus on perceived causes, and great departure from traditional religious liturgy, tenets, and teaching. I have expressed this view over many years, and when asked to join due to the resignation of a board member I gladly accepted.

How else have you been involved with IHC, currently or in the past?

Leadership development group and rabbinic search committee.

What is your profession?

Attorney How would you describe IHC in three words?

Introspective, evolving, potential.

What motivated you to join the IHC Board of Directors?

IHC has been a second home for our family since my husband and I met there 33 years ago, and our children are 6th generation members who were educated in the ECC and religious school. It is a place where I found community when I moved to Indy and knew no one, and where I saw my mother build new connections when she moved here as a widow. I’m inspired by the passion and engagement I see from younger congregants, and I hope as a board member to help to build sustainability for future generations.

How else have you been involved with IHC, currently or in the past?

I’ve been a religious school teacher, Sisterhood president, and involved in varied committee work over the years.

For me, the most meaningful part of Judaism is... the traditional liturgy and the ability to share the same experience with future generations

What is your profession?

I’ve been involved in food security work as a volunteer and professionally for more than 20 years. Currently I’m working with Glick Philanthropies on building food security for affordable housing residents.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

Running, hiking, and weightlifting.

How would you describe IHC in three words?

Warmth, community, thoughtful For me, the most meaningful part of Judaism is...

Passover. It summons family memories of childhood and of our own family and its themes are resonant -- equity, liberation, education, identity, parenthood, advocacy, leadership, etc.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

Developing my cooking skills -- I’ve been taking culinary classes at Ivy Tech. They’re challenging, I’m learning a lot, and my classmates are younger than my kids.

Temple Library Book bannings have been in the news lately. We thought you might be interested in how the temple library has approached this subject over the years.

Many know that our books for students currently are divided into two basic sections: those with yellow labels primarily are for children up to the age of about nine; those with red labels (the Youth section) primarily are for students from about ages 9-12. Before the most recent IHC construction we had a High School stack (books with blue dots on white Labels) but now those books are integrated with the adult section and still have their blue dots.

Getting back to the younger set, within the Children’s and Youth sections, there may be a note on the book card or book pocket with an age recommendation, as there can be a major difference with what most would feel is appropriate for a five-year-old versus what a nineyear-old can or should be reading. Often, I have said to students whose age groups “straddle” the guidelines, to return with a parent and if the parent says “yes,” then the child can borrow the book.

Jewish Book Club

IHC Librarian Evelyn Pockrass Sometimes, I have asked the child to show the book to their parents before reading it just to be certain the parent approves. Those whom I have asked to do this have invariably done so, and parents who have been asked express their appreciation for being asked!

On very few occasions (think two) questions were raised about vocabulary and those questions were resolved.

As a special library, we have particular needs, interests, and values. Our tastes may be different, but we try to keep an ethical and religious standard while recognizing that our children are different and our parents may approach this issue in multiple ways. Some feel their children can read anything and others feel quite the opposite. We have never “banned” a book - and even have some in the collection (including Maus and Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.).

We hope you and your children are setting aside some quality time this summer to read – and if you can, remember that your temple library is open whenever the building is open.

August-December 2023

August 8: Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

by Gabrielle Zevin

September 12: Once We Were Home

by Jennifer Rosner

October 10: The Hyena Murders

by Ellen Frankel

November 14: The Island of Extraordinary Captives

by Simon Parkin

In her contemporary best-selling novel about the video game industry. Zevin’s main characters: Sam, Sadie, and Marx, experience memorable joys and sorrows during more than a twenty year period of their respective lives. The dramatic plot is filled with information about the ins and outs of what is involved in creating, producing and selling video games. The main action takes place on both the East and West Coasts, although there is international travel, too.

Book Two of Frankel's Jerusalem Mysteries Series provides details on the complicated societal role Ethiopian Jews have played in Israel. A prominent Ethiopian politician’s family is targeted and Israeli intelligence officer Maya Rimon is determined to find the killer as well as the motivation for the violence.

December 12: My Mother's Secret

by Alina Adams

Lena’s dying father’s last words remain a puzzle she is eager to solve. She asks her mother who a man called Aaron Kramer is and a story unfolds about the misguided Soviet plan to build a homeland for Jews in Birobidzhan near the Trans-Siberian Railway bordering China. Adams’ novel is filled with insights and irony about Soviet actions to relocate Jews to an “autonomous region.” The author and her family emigrated from Odessa to the United States in 1976.

A work of fiction based on true stories of World War Two children whose identity was hidden in order for them to survive, Rosner’s novel focuses on four children from three families, all of whom eventually come to Israel. In her lyrical and moving writing style, Rosner examines how these refugees’ lives and identities continued to be affected by wartime experiences.

The subtitle of this non-fiction work says it all: A Painter, a Poet, an Heiress, and a Spy in a World War II British Internment Camp. Parkin concentrates on the plight of Peter Fleischmann, a German-born Kindertransport young budding artist. Parkin, a journalist, forcefully documents that real life can have more twists and turns than fiction.

The Jewish Book Club is a great way for book lovers to enjoy getting to know each other through lively discussion about great books with Jewish and literary value. The book club meets on Zoom, and occasionally in person, at 12:00pm on the second Tuesday of each month.

If you would like to take part, please email IHC librarian Evelyn Pockrass.

Reading the name of a loved one on a yahrzeit is a way to honor them, their lives and their memory. Jewish tradition teaches that the memory of one who has lived righteously lives on for blessing. We hope the memories of your loved one will bring you consolation and lighten your grief on their yahrzeit. When a yahrzeit is observed, there is a Jewish custom to give tzedakah. This can be a donation to your favorite charity. If IHC is the charity of your choice, there is a full list of our tzedakah funds at ihcindy.org/give
