IHC KULANU • JANUARY 2019 www.ihcindy.org 3 CLERGY CORNER

Rabbi Brett Krichiver; [email protected]

Many of you have asked me how to get involved in the unfolding situation outside of El Paso, Texas. Soon up to 4,000 children will be detained there indefinitely after crossing our border, seeking asylum. A few weeks ago I made the pilgrimage myself to see the Internment camp at Tornillo. Now I feel a desperate need not only to stay involved, but also to share with you what I experienced. In the words of one of the daily protestors in Tornillo, once you have seen (or heard), your heart will not let you turn away. The drive through the desert reminded each of the dozens of rabbis on our trip of driving through the Judean hills, headed out of Jerusalem towards the Dead Sea. We knew that in Texas the desolation was intentional. The camp is out of sight, and the administration hopes that it will remain out of mind. The only purpose for this camp is to deter other immigrants from attempting to seek asylum. Having faced unspeakable horrors in their home countries, the land of opportunity and refuge has provided neither to thousands of migrants. Hundreds of clergy from every denomination gathered not to protest as much as to bear witness. Rabbis Josh Whinston and Miriam Terlinchamp, who organized our rally, shared that local faith groups are involved in helping provide education, clothing, and every kind of donation to these children. But they highlighted that the healthy and legal process of absorbing immigrants in El Paso has effectively ended as our border has become increasingly militarized. And as our President promises to send thousands of troops to secure our border against an imagined flood of terrorists, Middle Easterners, and hardened criminals, faith-based resources on the ground showed us the truth. We were there to bear witness to them. We sang, “Let us gather all together in the cold and in the heat, and make a vow that history’s cruel lesson won’t repeat. We will not stand idly by and watch our values die when we heed the call for justice we are praying with our feet.” A Muslim who travelled from Michigan with our caravan shared: “[All our] scripture states clearly to love and serve the needy, the refugee, our neighbors near and far. I truly appreciate it is the mandate of every nation to secure its borders, but we must do so in a way that maintains our American values, while preserving the respect and dignity of those who turn to us in their time of need; without causing harm or suffering in particular to these poor children. As a parent,” she sobbed, “I am horrified and utterly heartbroken for these children.” And we chanted—Change begins with me. Change begins with me. Change begins with me. Peace. Peace will. Peace will come. Let it begin with me. A local Catholic girls’ school attended our rally, all in uniforms and somber faces. Nuns in t-shirts pronouncing their solidarity with those imprisoned at Tornillo. And after we sang songs and shared appreciation of one another’s presence, many of these girls broke into tears, and ran to hug us. Fresh in their hearts were immediate family members imprisoned in Tornillo’s camp. Over and over again, through tears and in broken English, they told us, “May God bless you,” “thank you for being here.” One schoolgirl held a sign which read: “Once I tried to write a history of immigrants in America, and then I realized that immigrants were American history.” Before the next speaker we paused for a moment of silence as we did every time a busload of children drove into the camp. The buses were heavily armored with gates and prison screens, windows blacked out so we could not see in. We could barely make out the waving arms of children, hopefully reading our signs in English and in Spanish quoting from Exodus 22—You shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.” A dozen or more buses entered the camp in the single hour of our rally. We understand that many more enter the camp under the cover of night. Tornillo is not an exception. This camp is a blueprint for what is to come as funding increases to ICE. We bear the responsibility of actions committed by our government in our name, and on our soil. These are not “illegals,” nor have they broken any laws. Narrowly avoiding devastation in their home countries, they have attempted to enter the United States, drawn by its promise of 200 years, to welcome the poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free. What is next? How can we stay involved? We are currently planning a collection of supplies to send to Tornillo, as well as continued engagement with our local officials so that they might act on our behalf. Please stay tuned in for updates on lobbying and fundraising efforts. Today we need to provide a voice for the voiceless. (Continued on page 5)

SHALOM CHAVERIM! Even though you are reading this in our new secular year, I am writing it in between Thanksgiving and Hanukkah. There is a lot to report on from the Religious School. 1. JLP: our Jewish Learning Program is up and running! We have integrated Hebrew into our schedule, increased our time spent learning Jewishly, and introduced a brand new way of learning Hebrew—with our Hebrew through Movement program. 2. Hebrew Intensives: our flexible Hebrew program is running smoothly—our first expansion of a Carmel location is a success and our IHC location is running strongly. It is challenging to offer enough opportunities for all of our families to find a time that works, but it seems that we have come very close to accomplishing this goal as well. 3. Kehilla Community: a purposeful time period on Sunday within each grade to create, support, and enhance community building among our students. Run by our teens (under the supervision of Judi Hastings, madrichim coordinator), one program involved decorating cookies. At first glance—so what? They are decorating cookies. But a closer look revealed that 1) BEFORE they could decorate them they had to answer questions about themselves on a card, turn in that card, and 2) CHOOSE a card that wasn’t their own and decorate a cookie based on the card that they chose. Finally, 3) once they decorated the cookie according to the card they chose, they had to FIND the person it belonged to, and then talk about the way they decorated the cookie connected to the answers. Sometimes cookie decorating is more than it seems! Our new JLP has required many adjustments of parents, students, and teachers. We recognize that change is hard, and that our new program isn’t without its bumps and blemishes. In December, we sent out a quick survey to begin our review, and in January we will hold focus groups at IHC to gather direct feedback. Your responses are critically important! The entire program was created based on our families’ participation in our town hall meetings last year, and as we continue to smooth out the bumps, we need you to continue to provide honest and constructive feedback. If you can’t come to any of the focus groups (watch your email for time/date details) any of us would be happy to meet with you. The review process is being headed up by Sheila Yuckman (IHC parent), Ben Greenfield (IHC parent, former BJE and IHC board member), and Sara Weinberger (IHC parent). We are looking forward to the rest of the year as we try to get used to writing 2019 instead of 2018. L’shalom!

The contemporary story that Morris relates focuses on Miguel Torres, a very believable 15-year-old New Mexican youth with an intense interest in astronomy, and how he slowly comes to recognize that he has Jewish roots. Miguel is a Crypto-Jew, his family lights candles on Friday nights, he does not eat pork and he does not know why. Those are among the customs practiced by all the residents of his small, impoverished, fictional town of Entrada de la Luna. Obviously, Mary Morris excels as a researcher and her writing style makes the reader feel as though he or she is living right along with all the characters. Morris also provides the reader with a Historical Note, a Chronology of the Jews and the Inquisition, and a list of the Principal Characters, all of which are exceedingly helpful in understanding who is related to whom. She includes people whose names are familiar and those who are a figment of her rich imagination. The result is a memorable picture of difficult times in Jewish history as well as insightful descriptions of family relationships and human Future Jewish Book Club selections are posted on the Library page of the IHC website, www.ihcindy.org and in the Kulanu.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR DAYSPRING DINNERS IN 2019 For almost twenty years, volunteers from IHC have been providing monthly dinners to homeless families with children at the Dayspring Homeless Shelter, operated by Dayspring Ministries in downtown Indianapolis. From about 5:30 to 7:15pm on the first Sunday of every month, four to five IHC volunteers bring food, serve it to the families at the shelter, and clean up. Dinner “leaders” are responsible for bringing the meat and dessert items. The other volunteers bring the rest of the dinner, such as side dishes and salads. We currently need volunteers for every month in 2019. The entire process takes less than two hours, but the rewards are great: the families are so grateful, and the volunteers have a meaningful opportunity to engage in a Mitzvah Project. It’s also a great family project—child volunteers who are over eight years old are welcome! To volunteer, please go to SignUpGenius on the IHC website or contact Jackie Suess at [email protected].

YOU HELPED COLLECT 1,500 BAGS OF CLOTHING WHICH PROVIDED $7500 IN GOODWILL VOUCHERS Remember when YOU helped Family Promise by bringing in bags of clothes so our families could get a voucher and shop for themselves? Our friends at Old Bethel United Methodist Church (OBUMC) came in first place, but unhesitatingly agreed to share the title of Fall Clothing Drive winner with IHC in a gesture of solidarity and here's why: “The recent tragedy in Pittsburgh reminded this amazing group about a conversation with Alex Slabosky why IHC always brings their clothing donations to us the week before the formal drop-off period. Why not wait a few more days and see if more donations come to the temple? Alex explained that IHC, like many Jewish temples, have policies in place that bags cannot be left at the congregation for long periods of time. This is due to bomb threats the congregations have received. It was appalling, and yet, sadly believable.” In recognition of the hard work by so many congregation and companies for this drive—including those who take risks just to donate clothes—we thank you all.

Together, we raised over $7500 that will go directly to pay for projects and programs that benefit us all at IHC! And we were able to send Hanukkah Hellos to every IHC family, clergy, staff, teachers and our Boards of Directors. If you did not get a chance to send your Hanukkah Hellos this first time, please plan on helping us out next Hanukkah! The more we raise, the more we can do. Thank you to our 2018 Hanukkah Hellos contributors:
