A Message from Clergy Rabbi Roxanne Shapiro I will admit that I know very little about sports. While my husband watches games, I will comment on the uniforms and colors of shoes. I get excited at displays of good sportsmanship and friendships between players on different teams. However, I know very little about witnessing real athletic talent. Therefore, you should be surprised to read that I know anything about Caitlin Clark, the #1 draft pick for the WNBA who is now part of the Indiana Fever. I have watched her play in a couple games (on TV) and have admired her skill. I have also heard and read many comments saying, on one hand, that she has brought the American public to appreciate women’s basketball and, on the other hand, that she may be talented, but there are many other players out there who are talented and who are not getting the attention they deserve. Moreover, yes, I am aware of the huge disparity between her starting salary and that of any male NBA player.

This article, though, is not about Caitlin Clark. It is about recognizing that the name we know – the one who brought all the attention – may not be the first.

On Shavuot, it is customary to read the megillah (scroll) of Ruth. The story is about a woman who, after the death of her husband, chooses to stay with her mother-in-law and to follow Adonai, the god of her deceased husband’s family. The story of Ruth is estimated to have occurred around 1100 BCE. Ruth is held up as a penultimate story of conversion.

Throughout history, many choosing feminine names as a Jewish name, choose “Ruth” in her honor.

Yet, Ruth’s story of choosing to be with the Jewish people is not the first story of a person choosing to be with the Jewish/Israelite people. Pre-586 BCE, one could [and did] choose to live among the Israelites and were subject to all rules and regulations [and observances] of the Israelite people. Marriages occurred among different groups of people and if the family lived among the Israelites, they were Israelites.

Essentially, you were what you practiced in the community you lived.

3

After the destruction of the first Temple (586 BCE) and starting after 520 BCE, we do read about formal conversion involving study and mikvah. A formal process of living, practicing, and proclaiming was part of one’s process to declare themselves a Jew. Nevertheless, this was long after Ruth’s declaration.

Throughout Jewish literature, Ruth is referred to as the “first” convert to Judaism, but we know this is not the reality. Jacob’s sons married women outside of their tribe and the women raised Israelite children.

Moses married Tziporah, a princess of Midian, and she was the one who made sure her sons were circumcised. Rahab, the beautiful Canaanite prostitute who lived in the outer walls of Jericho, who hid the spies, ends up not only saving the day, but also brings her surviving family to live among the Israelites – choosing to be among the people of Israel. She is considered one of the righteous heroines in our biblical text and one who chose Judaism. It is interesting that Boaz’s parents are thought to be Rahab and Salmon – which means that if it is the same Rahab, she converted before giving birth to Boaz who would, many years later, marry Ruth.

Yet, Ruth, said to have been a Moabite princess, is exactly for whom the rabbis compiling Midrashim were waiting. Her lineage and her unblemished background were more in line for what could be held up as the “ideal” convert for generations to come.

Ruth’s kindness and loyalty (her talents) made her the one that brought everyone “to the courts.” She was not the first, but she is the one whose name is mentioned when the topic of conversion surfaces.

This reality is a struggle – as we explore Jewish texts and history, we often find that the name given the “credit” was not the first or necessarily the “best,” but for some reason was the one that captured all the attention. On one hand, more attention to the matter can only help grow the appreciation for those who convert (in the case of Ruth) or the sport (in the case of women’s basketball and Caitlin Clark). On the other hand, the names and stories of those who were on the cutting edge and who did pave the way for those who followed are often overlooked.

This Shavuot, may we remember to uncover the stories of those who led the way and share them, to embrace their achievements, and to enjoy witnessing the incredible feats of those who have captured our attention.

Meet Your New IHC Board President

Greetings!

I am Sarah Freeman, your new IHC Board of Directors president.

My husband, Ian Stewart, and I have lived in Indianapolis for almost 25 years. We are both attorneys and proud public servants for the State of Indiana.

Our daughter, Nia, is a rising sophomore at Indiana University-Bloomington.

In 2008, I converted to Judaism, and we decided, as an interfaith family, to raise our daughter Jewish.

We joined IHC and began our Jewish life together.

Nia attended religious school at IHC, studied Hebrew at the Bureau of Jewish Education, and was one of Cantor Aviva Marer’s first b’nai mitzvah students. I was active in Sisterhood and sang in the choir, and Ian joined us for Shabbat and holiday services.

Through friends we have made at IHC, we have grown our own Jewish “family” and enjoy hosting inclusive seders as well as our annual ‘Menorahpalooza’ extravaganza. Together, we’ve watched our children grow from Consecration to Confirmation, and we support each other through life cycle events. We pray together at the Rosh Hashanah retreat and celebrate “Jewish Christmas” with Chinese food and movies.

At IHC, friends become family, and this is why I’m proud to call IHC home and serve as your president. IHC enriches my life, and I am privileged to have the opportunity to give back to IHC. As a lay leader, I’ve served and learned alongside past presidents Marc Katz, Eloise Paul, and Mitch Katz, and I intend to continue the sacred partnership they have established with our clergy and staff. Together, Senior Rabbi Brett Krichiver, Executive Director Peter Smithhisler, and I will develop and implement a vision for IHC with our sacred partnership as its foundation.

My vision for IHC is one of optimism, abundance, and growth - a vision that embodies the positivity I feel when I enter our beautiful synagogue.

This vision reflects the value that IHC adds to my life and, I hope, to yours. This vision requires not just me, and not just our clergy and staff, but also - and most importantly - each of you to become a reality.

I invite you to join our sacred partnership and share with us the value that IHC brings to you.

Each of us has a story and these stories form the fabric of IHC. I hope my story conveys the priority I place on belonging to IHC as a sustaining member and belonging at IHC where I have created lifelong and multigenerational relationships.

I also hope to learn your story!

Please introduce yourself and let me know why IHC matters to you and how the entire IHC team fellow congregants, lay leaders, staff, and clergy can support you.

L’shalom, Sarah Freeman IHC Board President president@ihcindy.org

The Next Generation of IHC Leaders A unique feature of Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation is IHC-U; a leadership enhancement program aimed to grow a broad leadership cohort within our congregation.

The second IHC-U cohort met this year from January through May. Facilitated by Executive Director Peter Smithhisler, participants were immersed in a learning environment aimed at amplifying their leadership potential. IHC-U is for emerging leaders, as well as those seasoned by experience. Over the course of five sessions, the cohort explored what leadership is, the intersections between leadership and Jewish identity, ways to drive purposeful action and change, and creating a personal plan of action for the future.

Participants also had the opportunity to connect with past and current IHC leadership (see picture below), gaining insights into IHC’s history to better understand how to lead our temple into the future.

At the end of the five sessions, the goal is for participants to be encouraged and feel confident to pursue leadership roles within our community.

5

We connected with members from IHC-U Cohort two about their connections to IHC and how their Judaism aligns with their leadership.

Kate Duffy My Jewish identity influences my leadership...

I understand how it feels to be marginalized and misunderstood and to see my child treated as the "other" in public schools. For that reason, I feel an imperative to speak out for and become involved in initiatives that advocate for the underserved and underrepresented. I feel my most significant Jewish leadership comes in my role as a parent and grandparent. That is the most immediate way to impart the values of tikkun olam and tzedakah.

Dan Goldblatt I came to IHC because...

This was my family's temple. My grandparents were members, and even though we rarely came when I was a child, this is the temple I've always associated with. My wife and I became more involved and became actual members after our daughter was born, as we want her to have more of a Jewish identity than I did. I'm looking forward to her attending religious school once she's older and, eventually, becoming a bat mitzvah here at IHC.

Kylea Asher-Smith I came to IHC because...

When we moved to Indianapolis, we had family who were already congregants of IHC. Having grown up as Reform Jews, David and I planned to raise our kids Jewish, but we didn’t necessarily feel the instinct to join a congregation right away.

After just one Rosh Hashanah Retreat at GUCI, we knew that IHC was a uniquely special community for which we wanted to belong. In addition, observing the many ways that the IHC community supported our family and sister-in-law (Jenni Berebitsky, of blessed memory) as she traversed her brave journey with ALS, we more fully understood it was the people—loving friends, exceptional clergy, caring congregants—that makes IHC a second home. We love that IHC centers its mission around inclusivity, and that this is palpable in every event and exchange.

Dakota Hudelson I feel community at IHC...

when we pray, eat, and celebrate together.

I feel community at IHC when, even in the face of darkness and despair, we focus on repairing the world. And most of all, I feel community at IHC when we build bridges with others who share the challenges of being part of an oppressed minority group.

Sarah Skwire My Jewish identity influences my leadership...

by emphasizing the importance of debate and discussion. It’s hard for me to estimate how often I have mentioned—in meetings and academic discussions—the fact that the Talmud preserves full discussions about topics, not just the winning side. For Jews, the answer is the process as much as the product. And when that process gets hard?

I try to keep in mind the line from Pirkei Avot that tells us, “You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it (2:21).”

Shira Malone My Jewish identity influences my leadership...

in every possible way. I think values guide our decisions both with intention and even when we are not cognizant of their influence.

The third cohort is scheduled to begin in January 2025. If you or someone you know is interested in participating, please express your interest to Peter Smithhisler at executivedirector@ihcindy.

Member Spotlight: Bob & Rose-Marie Goodman On Main Street, in Zionsville, Indiana, sits Robert Goodman Jewelers. Owned by IHC members Bob and RoseMarie Goodman, you can trace the roots of the business back more than 120 years. During the 1901 World’s Fair, Bob’s grandfather, Jacob Goodman, ran a carnival booth. He gave away jewelry trinkets as prizes.

He was stuck with all the jewelry after the fair shut down following the assassination of President McKinley (he was giving a speech at the fair when he was shot).

Goodman decided to peddle the shiny wares, thus beginning the Goodman family’s entrance into the world of jewelry.

Jewish Journeys Bob describes being brought up in a “70s reform Jewish family.” They called IHC home and he attended sunday school. He attended Indiana University in Bloomington where he met RoseMarie. She was born and raised in the Netherlands before coming to Indiana for college. The two were married in 1981, not long after graduating. Bob was Jewish. Rose-Marie was Catholic. At the time, clergy in the Reform Movement were not performing interfaith marriages, unless of course, the non-Jewish spouse converted. The two were prepared to be an interfaith couple, because “we did not want to force our religion on the other partner like that.” The two had what they called ‘their civil ceremony’ in Indianapolis, and then later went to the Netherlands for the ‘religious ceremony’ with Rose-Marie’s family.

The couple have two children: a daughter and a son. They agreed their children would not grow up just Jewish or just Catholic, but have a choice in what they wanted to believe.

Over time, Rose-Marie admits “slowly, I really became comfortable in the Jewish religion and community. It just felt so warm and comfortable.”

She became interested in conversion. She and Bob took Introduction to Judaism classes at IHC. The news of her potential conversion did not sit well with her parents, especially her mother.

7

Being afraid to go against her mother’s wishes, Rose-Marie delayed conversion until after her mother’s death. Once she was officially Jewish, she never told her father, but eventually told her sister, whom Rose-Marie says was very accepting.

Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation is a Jewish community where our members can be inspired to action through Jewish values. For both Bob and Rose-Marie, living out the value of tikkun olam (repair the world) is not only a core part of their Jewish identity, but it is a huge part of how they connect with the world through their business.

Doing Business Differently Bob cannot directly point to a specific example of how he came to be a strong advocate for social change. As a child, he remembers interacting with IHC clergy, like Rabbi Maurice Davis, known for his participation in the Civil Rights Movement. He remembers how Jewish people were some of the first allies to join Black Americans as freedom riders. His family never preached to him about things like equality and equity, but Bob can see how it is part of his roots.

His uncle rented office space to the NAACP; the organization’s first office in Indianapolis.

Bob only recently learned about his father’s (Raymond Goodman) connection to the Black community in Indianapolis. Recognizing the lack of diversity in the world of jewelry, Bob and RoseMarie host pop-ups for lack jewelers and artisans.

During one of these pop-ups, they met a woman, who, according to Bob, told them how years ago (when there were roughly 25 jewelers in downtown Indianapolis), Goodman Jewelers was the only place black people, like herself, could purchase class rings. She went on to explain how of all of the jewelers downtown, Goodman’s was the only one that allowed black people to make purchases with credit.

Bob also found out that some sixty-five years ago, his father placed an ad for the store in a yearbook for Crispus Attucks High School. During those times, it was an all-black high school. Bob says alumni connected with him when they were putting together a program to mark an upcoming anniversary. They wanted to reach out to all the businesses with ads in their yearbook.

Bob guesses that his father was, if not the only, one of the few white merchants who agreed to place an ad.

Much like their predecessor, Bob and Rose-Marie run their store in a way that some would say incorporate “bad business practices.” The couple is anything but shy about their social advocacy, and the causes they support. You can see it before you even step into the store through various signs, banners, and flags.

The Goodmans say they are “unabashedly” pro-choice, as Judaism says life begins on first breath and ends it with last breath. They avidly support public education. They are allies of the LGBTQ+ and transgender community. They support Black Lives Matter. Bob and Rose-Marie promote interfaith conversations- supporting Muslim, Hindu, and other belief systems. The two stand firmly against hate in all forms, including antisemitism and islamophobia.

Bob and Rose-Marie know the switch to these more conscientious business practices is not easy, especially when there is a bottom line. However, they feel it is possible to make a living without doing so at the expense of others. The two have a message to other businesses owners who want to take similar steps with their business: “Call us and let's talk through it. We can give you our life, our experience, our business experience with this.”

More Than a Jewelry Store Over the last several years, Robert Goodman Jewelers has become a community space. Bob recalls how Jennifer Nelson Williams from AaronRuben-Nelson Mortuary contacted him about putting a public menorah for Hanukkah in front of the store. He and Rose-Marie agreed to do it.

It has now become tradition for the past three years for the store to host a public menorah lighting. For Bob, seeing all the people gathered in the street together, many hearing the Jewish prayers chanted for the first time, is what makes these events worthwhile.

Not too long after the menorah lighting, the Goodmans’ Muslim friends in town approached them with an idea: Would the store host an iftar, the breaking of the fast during Ramadan? It was a yes from Bob and Rose-Marie. Bob remembers the sight of seeing people laying out their prayer rugs, right on Main Street, as the group did a public call to prayer, all in the sight of those driving nearby.

For the Goodmans, gatherings and communal interactions like these are about “bringing people together to understand other people. If we understand each other better, then can't we be more accepting of one another?”

The couple understands what can happen when you are open and vocal about these type of issues.

There have been demonstrators and threatening emails, but it does not deter them. “We encourage people to come into our store. We want them to have conversations [with us].” They also recognize how such advocacy might turn customers away.

However, they say that same advocacy is what makes some customers feel comfortable and welcome to walk through the door.

A Legacy “We want to change the world. We believe firmly in social justice and that it extends everywhere.”

Their commitment to social justice extends into the business side of things too. They adapt their practices to benefit the environment and people who are part of the jewelry process (suppliers of stone and metal, designers, etc).

The legacy of Robert Goodman Jewelers started with the World’s Fair over a century ago.

That legacy continues today, with its owners living out tikkun olam, repairing the world in a way that they hope will make life fairer for all.
