A Message From Your Clergy

As the days are getting colder and shorter, it is time to think about what warms us up and brightens our nights. This change in season helps us focus on bringing light to one another and to the community around us.

Cantor Sarah Sager, who will be coming to IHC for a special weekend in February, provides a beautiful drash on increasing the light in our lives. She explains the winter solstice is her favorite day of the year. She hates the cold and darkness of the winter, but knows once the solstice occurs, the days begin to get longer again. Despite the fact that there are still several months of winter ahead, physiologically, the darkness is easier to handle knowing the days are slowly getting longer. Cantor Sager applies this to other aspects of our lives, especially helping each other see the brightening light around us.

The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah brings light into our homes during the darkest times of the year. There are several rabbinic debates in the Talmud about how we should light the Hanukkiah. The rabbis debate if after the lighting the shamash (helper candle) we should light the candles starting from left to right or right to left. They also debate if we should light the Shabbat or Hanukkah candles first when Hanukkah is on Shabbat. (We place the candles in the Hanukkiah from right to left and light them from left to right. We light the Hanukkah candles before the Shabbat candles).

The debate among the rabbis that I find the most interesting is the argument whether we should add a new candle in addition to the shamash each day of Hanukkah or if we should begin by lighting all of the Hanukkah candles and light one less each night.The rabbis decided it was better to begin by lighting one candle in addition to the shamash and increase the light and the candles each night. This way we are increasing and not decreasing the light around us. The increasing light of the hanukkiahs symbolizes our role in world as well. We are called to be a light to the nations and to be a source of goodness and hope around us. I know we can continue to do this together.

If you have been to the IHC Hanukkah celebrations, it is amazing to see how much light our hanukkiahs can provide together. As the darkness of our days grows, I hope IHC will continue to be a source of light for you.

I look forward to making our days brighter together.

Rabbi Jordana Chernow Reader

My Dad, The Rabbi

Often, people ask me what my parents do for a living, and when I tell them that my dad is a rabbi, I get one of two looks. Either I get, “I have no idea what that is” or “oh, so you’re one of those kids.” But being one of those kids is so different from what most people think. No, I don’t know more Hebrew than you. No, I don’t go to services every week. No, I don’t know every congregant, even though they may know me.

However, yes, I do know the top '80s bands. I know how to play guitar. I know 20 dad jokes off the top of my head. And yes, maybe I do know a little more about the holidays.

My dad has been your rabbi for 12+ years. But he has been there for me since the day I was born. He’s the one who drove me 6 hours to space camp, sat in a hotel for the week, and drove me home, wearing the new NASA shirt he bought in the gift store. He’s the one who spent three whole days learning how to solve the Rubik's Cube with me when I was six years old. He’s the one who sat with me over Zoom from his office at 11pm helping me prepare for my theatre audition the next day. He’s the one who cheered me on at every single dance competition, chatting with all the other dance moms.

It makes me so happy that you all have such an amazing person as your rabbi. Whether we are singing “Walk Off The Earth” at the top of our lungs in the car, doing puzzles on the plane, or creating a Bob Ross painting together, he never fails to make me smile Of course there are some days when I wish that he could be home for dinner, but knowing that he is bringing so much joy to this congregation is very fulfilling Dad, congrats on over a decade with IHC I love you

12 Things You Didn't Know About Rabbi Krichiver

It is so wonderful that we will finally have the opportunity to gather together to celebrate our 12+ year partnership with Rabbi Krichiver and 166 years of IHC, on November 4 & 5 You can get up to date information about Celebration Weekend, including the IHCBay auction fundraiser at ihcindy org/standup We look forward to celebrating with everyone!

His favorite books growing up: The Phantom Tollbooth, A Wrinkle in Time, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

His favorite books as an adult: Cloud Atlas, The Weight of Ink, The Corrections

A contemporary rabbi/clergy person he admires:

Rabbi Sharon Brous, founder and senior rabbi of IKAR in Los Angeles, California.

Rabbi Krichiver is a big supporter and fan of the theater.

His favorite musical: Man of La Mancha

His favorite play: Barefoot in the Park

Rabbi Krichiver has been in many plays and productions during his life, but the dream role that he would still love to play is Hamlet E. ven rabbis have guilty pleasure movies and TV shows. For Rabbi Krichiver, it is the Stranger Things series.

If you ever want to bake a treat for our Senior Rabbi, just know that he thinks the best challah flavor is cinnamon sugar. He also has never met a flavor of hamantaschen he doesn't like (so all flavors are fair game!)

Rabbi Krichiver believes the ultimate comfort food is spaghetti, specifically his mother's spaghetti recipe

Rabbi Krichiver has done a lot of traveling, but the best place he has ever traveled is Sooke Harbour in Vancouver Island in British Columbia Canada. Pictured left is he and his wife Tami Krichiver at Sooke Harbour Inn

Even with so many trips under his belt, one place he still hopes to travel is to Shanghai, China leading a congregational trip.

When he reflects on his camp experience, the thing that made it most meaningful was having Shabbat on top of a 14,000 foot mountain in Colorado.

He shares words of wisdom with us during Torah Talk and during Friday night Shabbat services, but Rabbi Krichiver says the best advice he has ever heard is:

"People won’t remember what you said, they will remember how you made them feel."

If he wasn't serving our community as Senior Rabbi, Rabbi Krichiver says he would be a stage actor. You may have witnessed his acting chops firsthand at Alternative Kol Nidre or in past Purim spiels.

Volunteers with the Caring Community are ready to satisfy the reading appetite of homebound congregants. Here's how the program works: homebound congregants can choose up to 3 books to borrow, using the form at ihcindy.org/bookloanprogram. Then, an IHC Caring Community volunteer will pick up books, deliver them to the congregant’s home, and will retrieve them 3 weeks later.

Book requests can also be submitted by emailing IHC librarian Evelyn Pockrass at evelynp@ihcindy.org or the Caring Community at ihc.caringcommunity@gmail.com You may also call the IHC Library at 317-255-6647 ext. 2203.

Temple Library

Temple Library’s collection contains numerous books about Hanukkah, but for a quick overview about possible origins of Hanukkah, I always refer to an older classic Jewish holiday title, The Jewish Festivals: History & Observance, by Hayyim Schauss, copyright 1938, (also published under other titles). Still available, “Hanukkah” in this book is spelled “Chanukkoh."

Schauss cites Book I and Book II of the Maccabees (found in the Apocrypha, not the Hebrew Bible), providing the history of the uprising and rededication of the Temple. From Schauss’ initial description of the political situation at the time (the Egyptians and the Syrians fighting to influence the Jews) and the rise of the Hasmoneans who led the battle, the Temple was cleaned, and re-dedicated on the twenty-fifth day of Kislev in 165 B.C.E. Based on additional descriptions of the holiday that Josephus wrote about after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 C.E., observance of the event gradually included the lighting of candles. What started as an attempt to feel joy campaigning for religious liberty also added a spiritual element.

Dates

IHC Librarian Evelyn Pockrass

Schauss’ writings for all holidays feature customs of everyday life. In Eastern Europe, Schauss posits, children eagerly await the coming of Hanukkah, when they go to school for half a day due to the weather, when their teacher tells the Hanukkah story, and when, on the fifth night, not only do they spin dreidels, but they also receive coins. We really don’t know very much about the origin of the holiday’s festival lights, despite many theories, let alone the legend of the oil. Schauss thinks that Hanukkah replaced an older holiday, something he says was fairly common.

In addition to the details of lighting candles and spinning dreidels, other customs included eating cheese, playing cards and games, putting on plays, and reading an ancient Scroll of Antiochus. Schauss does not mention giving presents for each night. Therefore, we can surmise that this custom is relatively recent. Do you remember when Hanukkah was a much more subdued holiday? But, it was fun so, however you celebrate, include the joy of religious freedom…and read a book along the way!
