There is a season for every purpose under heaven...
Sukkot is the time for awareness and action.
During the 7 days of Sukkot and the eve of Simchat Torah, we will be directing our attention to issues of scarcity in our community and ways we can assist Each day, we will focus on a particular need and organization making a difference.
We ask that you consider making a donation for one, two, or more days, as you are able Items may be dropped off at IHC during any of the days of Sukkot (in which the building is open) and does not have to be on the particular day of the focus.
On Wednesday, October 23, starting at 5:30 p.m., we invite you to join us as we celebrate the Torah and the custom of reading from the very end of the Torah and the very beginning
In addition, we will be having an evening of "Mitzvah Meshugash" (mitzvah craziness) as we organize our donations for distribution and highlight all of the great work our community does to help others.
Keep a look out for IHC social media posts focusing on each of these needs each day!

Cantor Marer’s voice fills the IHC sanctuary again after a short sabbatical. During her time away, Cantor Marer enjoyed her new role as the Director of the Indianapolis Children’s Choir (ICC) Alumni Ensemble
“The Indianapolis Children's Choir is an incredible organization that offers unbelievable musical opportunities to children all over the state of Indiana,” Cantor Marer said.
When Cantor Marer moved to Indianapolis, she prioritized making connections within the local arts community, to make sure IHC continued to be a center of arts and culture in town
Around the same time, her son Ben started singing with the ICC, and Cantor Marer connected with the ICC leadership, including Artistic Director Joshua Pedde.
“Her values, her thoughts about music and the importance of good music instruction, and the way that can play a part in helping shape and mold our community just aligns so well (with ICC),” Pedde said.
Pedde asked Cantor Marer to be the director of the alumni ensemble, confident that she would help expand upon the foundation the students received in the Children's Choir
“There's always great synergy in the room when she's there,” Pedde said. “She just brings life and joy. One of our pillars is excellence, and she always brings excellence to the table ”
To Cantor Marer, choral music is about more than just excellenceit’s about coming together In a world that is more polarized than ever, Cantor Marer believes music is a great unifier.
“When we all get together and raise our voices together in song, nothing else matters,” Cantor Marer said “We're just focused on becoming one - on breathing together and blending together And in turn, it creates a community ”
by the co-chairs of the Newish-to-Jewish Circle
So, you ’ re new to Judaism and haven’t experienced the High Holy Days before? If this is your first go around, don’t worry. There are many opportunities to make these days meaningful Take it from us, your friendly Newish to Jewish circle leaders. Here is our Newish to Jewish Guide to the High Holy Days:
The two major holidays we usually think of during the High Holy Day season are Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur Rosh HaShanah falls on the first two days of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, and marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year. It is customary to eat apples and honey on Rosh HaShanah as their sweetness reminds us of the sweetness of the new year
Rosh HaShanah also marks the beginning of the Ten Days of Repentance, during which it is customary to seek out those we have wronged over the last year, apologize to them, and attempt to make it right.
At the end of the Ten Days of Repentance, it’s Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. It is customary to mark Yom Kippur with a 25-hour fast On this day, we have a final opportunity to seek forgiveness from G-d for sins we have committed this year. This holiday is observed almost exclusively with the greater Jewish community in prayer at the synagogue (or GUCI)
NOTE: Bakers often make a special round challah to represent the circle of the year.
We know that attending services in person is not an option for everyone But if you can, going in person takes the experience to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL. The High Holy Days draw large crowds, and praying together with so many people is a uniquely rewarding experience. If you have never been, try to attend at least one of the services in person It can help to cultivate a sense of community and spiritual growth.
For a less formal experience, consider attending the Rosh HaShanah retreat or the Yom Kippur service at GUCI!
On the first day of Rosh Hashanah, Jews will flock to a body of running water to symbolically cast off their sins. While traditionally done on the first or second day of Rosh HaShanah, this ceremony can be done any time between the start of Rosh Hashanah through the end of Sukkot
Something to consider when performing tashlich is the impact on wildlife. In recent years, many Jews find more meaning in “ reverse ” tashlich where they will remove trash from the water. Instead of bread, which is difficult for waterfowl and fish to digest, consider peas, birdseed or other “castables” that will not harm your local ecosystem.
Things come up, plans change, and sometimes the whole idea of observance can be overwhelming Don’t hold yourself to a set standard. It is okay if you are able to do everything, it is equally okay if you ’ re unable to do anything. You know yourself best. If an event or observance feels like too much for you, skip it There is always next year.
And about fasting - not everyone is able to fast for Yom Kippur. In these circumstances, it is a mitzvah to take care of your body rather than participate in an activity that could harm you.
If you cannot abstain from food and beverage for 25 hours, is there something else you can give up for 25 hours instead?
If your circumstances prevent you from participating in the traditional observance of one of these holidays, it's okay! The High Holy Day season is longer than you think If the only thing you do on Rosh HaShanah is take a bite of an apple with honey with a scoop of honey, you ’ ve taken part in Rosh HaShanah! If you stay off of social media for 25 hours and reflect on how you will be a better person this coming year, then you are marking Yom Kippur As long as your heart and spirit are in the right place, that is what is important also.... Join the Newish to Jewish Circle for a celebration of Sukkot!!
If you're looking for a relaxed celebration, consider attending Newish to Jewish’s upcoming Sukkot event. Food, friends and fun await.
On Sunday, October 20 at 6 p.m., the Newish to Jewish Circle will be celebrating Sukkot together with a potluck under the Newish to Jewish sukkah!
Our circle strives to be a space that supports conversion students, converts, those reconnecting with their Jewish identity, and anybody looking for an entry point into the Indianapolis Jewish community The registration link is in IHC’s calendar (ihcindy.org/events); we hope to see you there!
Peter Smithhisler, Executive Director
As the High Holy Days approach each year, I find myself reflecting on the deeper significance of this sacred time and how it resonates within our Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation (IHC) community. It’s a period of introspection, renewal, and recommitment to the values that define us. But beyond personal reflection, it’s also a time to consider the needs of our community and how we can each contribute to its vitality and future. This is why I give to the IHC High Holy Day Appeal.
First and foremost, I give because I believe in the power of community.
IHC is more than just a synagogue; it is a spiritual home, a place where we gather to celebrate, to mourn, to learn, and to grow. It is a sanctuary for our faith, our traditions, and our shared heritage.
The High Holy Day Appeal is a way to ensure that this congregation remains strong and vibrant, able to meet the needs of every member, regardless of their circumstances.
Supporting the High Holy Day Appeal is an investment in the future of our community. We live in a time when the demands on Jewish institutions are greater than ever. From providing quality religious education to our youth, to offering meaningful programs for adults, to ensuring the wellbeing of our most vulnerable members, IHC serves as a cornerstone of Jewish life in Indianapolis. By giving to this appeal, we help secure the resources needed to continue these essential services, ensuring that future generations can find the same sense of belonging and connection that we do.
Moreover, I give because of the impact IHC has on its members. The warmth and inclusivity of this community have been a source of strength for many families for generations. We have celebrated joyous occasions and found comfort during challenging times, all within the embrace of this congregation. IHC has been there for all of us, and I feel a deep responsibility to be there for the IHC in return.
In this season of reflection and renewal, I am reminded of the words shared with me three years ago when I came to IHC: "Kol Yisrael arevim zeh bazeh"—all of Israel is responsible for one another. The High Holy Day Appeal is an opportunity to live out this principle, to ensure that our community remains strong, vibrant, and able to serve all who seek its embrace.
This is why I give. And I hope you will, too.

Scotch tape barely held together a yellowed Shabbat pamphlet from IHC used each week by the Freeman family for years Like her siblings, Lisa Freeman, Martha Freeman, and Eddie Freeman, her parents, Irv and Barbara Freeman, her grandparents, and her greatgrandparents, Patti Freeman Dorson has been an IHC member her entire life She still remembers the words in that aged pamphlet: “May our Home be consecrated, O God, by Thy light. May it shine upon us all in blessing, as the light of love and truth, peace and goodwill. Amen.”
Patti had wanted to be a horn player in the symphony orchestra, so she studied at what is now Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music. Being a practical sort of person, she double majored in horn performance and political science In her junior year, she served as an intern to the Democratic caucus in the Indiana House of Representatives As fate would have it, she met her bashert, Roland Dorson, who was interning for the Democratic caucus in the Indiana State Senate
When she returned to Bloomington for her senior year, she realized how hard a musician’s life would be, especially one who didn’t have a music education degree and who wanted to have a family
“I did what anyone who had no clue what they wanted to do with their life did,” Patti said “I enrolled in law school and became an attorney ”
For most of her professional career, after a clerkship with Hon. John Paul Godich in the United States District Court, Patti worked in-house at two health coverage companies.
She was invited to testify before the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions and was recognized as one of the “Top Forty Under 40” in Indianapolis by the Indianapolis Business Journal In 1999, Patti was named one of Indiana’s Trailblazing Women Toward the end of her active career, when she turned 60, she took on an entirely new practice area, transactional law, working with Marc Katz
“Roland and I are now on what he calls ‘permanent fall break,’ i e we are retired!” Patti said
Patti also served as a facilitator of The Mother Circle, a community program that provided education, support, and connection for mothers of other faiths raising Jewish children In the years since the multiple classes concluded, the children of these remarkable women have participated in learning programs, become b’nai mitzvah, participated in youth groups, and many have started college with a proud, strong Jewish identity
“This meaningful work informed my personal passion of connecting Jews and the people who love them to each other and to Jewish life,” Patti said
There are few volunteer jobs at IHC Patti hasn’t done. She accompanied her Confirmation class on the guitar as they sang Am Yisrael Chai, which involves the only two chords she knew, and in college, Cantor Richards invited her to play horn for some of the High Holy Day musical offerings.
Andso,aslongasIhavebreath,Ihope tocontinuetosoundtheshofarformy IHCfamilyandinfusethedaysofawe
withmeaning.Afterall,it’swidely knownthatIhaveasurfeitofhotair!
As an adult, Patti served as a member of various committees and task forces When her sons, Ben and Daniel, entered religious school, she volunteered for all kinds of Jewish education-related assignments
She then accepted an invitation to join the Board of Directors, serving two full terms She served as chair of the senior rabbi and associate rabbi search committees and served as President toward the end of her Board service.
In 1981, Patti’s father told her the Worship Committee chaired by the venerable Dorit Paul was holding auditions for a new shofar sounder as Dr. Harold Stadler, the then shofar player, was retiring
“Since my parents supported my abbreviated music school tenure, I figured I owed it to them to at least audition,” Patti said
Patti was honored to be selected by the committee This year is her 43rd year serving as IHC’s ba’alat tekiah Patti follows the ancient custom of practicing in the month of Elul
“Since the mitzvah is to hear the sound of the shofar, I take very seriously the responsibility to make that ancient sound as beautiful and evocative as I possibly can,” Patti said
Each year is deeply meaningful to Patti, though a few moments stand out to her. The first time she sounded the shofar in 1981, Patti remembers Rabbi Jonathan Stein raised his arms as though he were signaling a touchdown and the congregation applauded
“In 2001, right after September 11th, I pictured using my breath and the sound of the shofar to reverse the fall of the World Trade Center,” Patti said “This year, I will sound a prayer for the return of all the October 7th hostages ”
Though Cantor Roger was already part of IHC, Patti said few women in the congregation were accustomed to seeing women participate in services and rituals. Only a handful of women in the entire U S served as ba’alat tekiot at that time
“It moved me beyond measure when female members –women, little girls, moms, teenagers, and grandmothers –would come up after services and thank me for helping them find meaning in their high holy day experience,” Patti said “These special moments still leave me verklempt ”
This Circle focuses on helping out at local food pantries and community gardens as a way to address food insecurity in Indianapolis

F i n d y o u r c o m m u n i t y
by Patti Freeman-Dorson, Interfaith event co-organizer
Jewish hospitality and welcoming began with Abraham and Sarah and their open tent, in the story about the welcome they gave to wayfarers From Abraham and Sarah, we learn it is our sacred obligation to welcome guests.
Looking deeper into our shared story, we recognize that many of our biblical heroes were married to women from other religious backgrounds This long line of venerated women includes Tzipporah, the wife of Moses, and Osnat, the wife of Joseph and the mother of Jacob’s grandsons Menashe and Ephraim, boys whose names we invoke when we bless our own sons These women of other faiths receive little attention in our tradition, yet they married and raised leaders of our people
In the 2020 Pew Research Center Jewish Americans study, nearly half of all married non-Orthodox Jews say their spouse is not Jewish (47%). Intermarriage is even more common among those who have married in recent years: Among Jewish respondents who got married since the beginning of 2010, 61% have a non-Jewish spouse, compared with 18% of Jews who got married before 1980. The 2017 Indianapolis Jewish Community Study reflects that our Jewish community has the fifth highest couples rate of intermarriage at 55% when compared with similar cities in the US.
Some have viewed the intermarriage rate as challenging for the future of the Jewish community How often did we used to hear pejorative declarations like “my son or daughter married out”? But the facts fail to support that interfaith couples and families are a threat to the Jewish future
There are numerous parents of other faith traditions at IHC who are raising their children as Jews. These parents deserve our support, encouragement, and gratitude A parent makes a tremendous sacrifice and undertakes a great commitment when they raise a child in a religious tradition different from their own. And too often, the non-Jewish spouse feels they don’t have a spiritual home anywhere
We want to offer interfaith couples and families the support they need to know they are an integral part of IHC and confidence to transmit Jewish traditions and values to their children And we want to help them connect and build friendships with other couples and families in our community
By reframing our understanding, our language, and our approach and radically welcoming and supporting interfaith couples and families, we strengthen and enrich our entire community.
