CLERGY CORNER
Rabbi Scott Fox; scottf@ihcindy.org
I had always heard it, but I read it for the first time recently. There’s a line that gets thrown around in
some circles this time of year as we get closer to the holiday of Purim. In Hebrew, it reads mishe-nichnes
adar marbim b’simcha. It simply means, “When the month of Adar arrives, joy increases.” I take this as a
reminder that we are coming to months where the winter is waning, the days lengthen, and we celebrate
that holiday literally designed to be a party: Purim. What a nice way to look at bright days and a fun holiday
ahead. That’s the actual translation that I didn’t realize until I actually read it. I always heard it a little differently. A
prefix turned into an entire word and I heard mi she-nichnes. The translation of the way I heard it says, “The person
who arrives at Adar increases joy.” A small but important difference.
What a beautiful idea, that an important part of finding joy this time of the year has to do with simply allowing
ourselves to arrive at Adar, the Hebrew month. In our lives as Jews today, it is not possible to avoid arriving at the
month of February or March. We write them on checks; they pop up on our phones when we check the time; we
schedule lunch and celebrate birthdays in them. The Hebrew month, however, can come and go without us ever
arriving at it. I’ll be honest, I often have to look up what the Hebrew date is (thanks, HebCal.com). We just don’t
use it much. So to arrive at the month of Adar really is an action, to take note of Jewish time, and to celebrate it.
The person who arrives at Adar, who really enjoys it, increases joy for themselves.
This brings us back to that first and original meaning of the phrase: “joy increases with the month of Adar.”
And this is my assertion: not without our help. We have holidays because without them we simply wouldn’t celebrate.
Time moves on its own, but we are the ones who stop, mark it, and celebrate. So I invite each of us to find a way to
enjoy this month coming up. Find a way to bring joy with it, to arrive at it, either by making hamantashen, reading
a Purim book to our kids, or taking a shalach manot basket of food to a friend or someone in need. There’s even
a celebration here! We’re throwing a big Purim party at IHC on March 8 with a shpiel and carnival. Come join us,
and arrive at this coming month with joy.
All Trolls, Bergens, and Humans welcome.
Schedule For Purim this year, we will have a silent auction as well as pay-to-play
games. The Humane Society will be here with adoptable animals and will be
Religious school 9:00am receiving a portion of the proceeds. The BloodMobile will also be making an
appearance!
Purim shpiel 10:00am
As always, Sisterhood will be selling their famous Hamantashen (get your
Carnival 10:30am order form on page 12) and Brotherhood will be selling their delicious Chicago
dogs and other assorted snacks.

$7 in advance during religious school on the following Sundays:
$10 at the door Feb. 2 | Feb. 9 | Feb. 23 | Mar. 1

TEMPLE LIBRARY
Evelyn Pockrass, Librarian; evelynp@ihcindy.org
The annual reading incentive program is well underway and we hope you have encouraged your children
to participate. They will enjoy being in IHC’s Neighborhood: Won’t You Be Our Reader?
Children can read with you, their relatives, and/or their friends. The program ends on March 29, 2020, so
students all have the potential of being IHC readers.
Questions about how the program works should be directed to the librarian, either by email,
evelynp@ihcindy.org, or by phone, 317.255.6647 x217.
WHAT’S NEW
The long days of the winter months offer another great opportunity to spend time reading. Perhaps you like
novels, mysteries, science fiction, dramas, plays or comedies. Maybe you just like to look at a magazine or coffee
table book. Or, you want to finish reading something you started in the past. Many enjoy reading about unusual
facts or trivia. At your Temple Library, there is a broad selection of subjects and genres containing Jewish content.
In the realm of trivia, recently I was thumbing through Noah’s Ark: An Annotated Encyclopedia of Every
Animal Species in the Hebrew Bible, by Donald Ray Schwartz (Call number 220.8).
If you enjoy obscure, yet fun facts (or speculations), then you would be interested in knowing that two
animals of the ovis species, the sheep and the ram, are mentioned 273 and 145 times, respectively, for a total of
418 times, the most mentioned species of animals in the Torah. You also may want to be aware that of the five
books of the Torah, the number of species referenced most (291 times) occurs in Numbers (how appropriate!)
In addition to man (and woman), the first animal mentioned in the Torah is the serpent. Schwartz provides
some history about the serpent and about 99 other animals. He cites chapter and verse of biblical references to
that animal and/or species, giving further background from midrash and the Talmud. In the book’s appendix, he
also discusses mythological creatures, using Louis Ginzberg (author of the multi-volume classic, The Legends of the
Jews) as a source.
In one of the shorter descriptions, the profile of the glede (p. 256) caught my attention. Schwartz portrays
the glede as a bird of prey that wanders and still exists in the warmer parts of the Old World. Modern translations
of the Torah frequently refer to this bird as a buzzard, or a kite, but Schwartz maintains it is a different creature. We
can leave that up to the ornithologists for a final determination, yet after all these centuries we still can wonder
about which animals were in the ark.
In the Children’s section of our Temple Library, there are several books about Noah and the ark, but it is
worthwhile knowing that the Adult area also houses books to excite the imagination on the same topic. Just look
– chances are you can find something special for you or a member of your family.
Happy Winter Reading! You always are welcome to come to the Temple Library. Read, browse, borrow!

JEWISH LEARNING
Rabbi Roxanne Shapiro, Director of Lifelong Learning; roxannes@ihcindy.org
Adult Education Classes
At Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation, we strive to make the study of Jewish texts, beliefs, and practices accessible to all
our members. Committed to the principles of Reform Judaism, we offer opportunities to explore our traditional texts and customs
through our modern day perspectives. Fostering Jewish identity, Jewish knowledge, and spiritual growth, along with the opportunity
to socialize with other members of the congregation, is at the forefront of our efforts. IHC is dedicated to building a “congregation of
learners.” We invite you to count yourself among the cornerstones of our community.
Ongoing Weekly Opportunities
Torah Talk
Select Wednesdays | YAC | 9:15am - 10:30am | Rabbi Brett Krichiver
Torah Talk is an informal, accessible, and interactive opportunity for adults of all levels of learning to discuss and study Judaism
and its texts. Each session stands alone, but you may find you want to become a regular attendee. Coffee and snacks are provided.
Tanakh Study
Saturdays | Room 212/214 | 9:00am - 10:00am | Rabbis & Cantor
This weekly study group explores the Tanakh (Torah, Prophets, Writings) from a religious, literary, and socio-historical perspective.
Led by IHC clergy, the group is guided through the text, chapter by chapter, line by line, seeking understanding of the teaching for
the time and its message for today.
Morning and Evening Classes
The Jewish Book of Why
Sunday, February 23 | Conference Room | 9:30am - 10:30am | Rabbis
Using each chapter of “The Jewish Book of Why” as a springboard, we will dive deeper into the “whys” and “hows” of Jewish
tradition and practice. This class is for the beginner and the seasoned, alike, as there is always something new to discover and
something to share. Purchase of the book is not necessary, but suggested. Future dates: Sunday, March 29, and Sunday, April 26.
Unmasking the Scroll of Esther
Wednesday, March 4 | Conference Room | 6:30pm - 8:00pm | Rabbi Roxanne Shapiro
As children, we learn a tale of the events in a heroine’s life – the story of the beauty queen Esther and how she saved the day
for all the Jews of Persia. However, a direct read of the text of the scroll points to a different kind of story – a variant from the fairy tale
version we learned as children. We will unmask the layers of the story and discuss the risqué events that happened in the kingdom of
Shushan.
Understanding Passover Dietary Rules & Customs
Wednesday, March 18 | Conference Room | 6:30pm - 8:00pm | Rabbi Roxanne Shapiro
Kosher? Kosher for Passover? Ashkenazi or Sephardic? Yes to green beans or no? There are so many dietary restrictions and
customs, how is anyone to make sense of it all? Whether you observe these or just want to find out why some people do, join us for
an in-depth look into matzah and more!
Introduction to Judaism - Part I
Wednesdays, March 11, 18, 25 | Event Center/Chapel | 6:30pm - 8:30pm | Clergy

we’re having our annual PJ Party! Wear your pajamas to religious school and join us in the YAC to watch Trolls. Normally, Small Chai
ends at 11:45am, but we will continue this party until the end of the film. March 22 is also our annual pajama collection to benefit
Family Promise. Be sure to bring new or gently used pajamas of all sizes, from baby to adult!
Rishonim (3-5): On Sunday, February 9, Rishonim is meeting at Hoosier Heights to do some indoor rock climbing. No experience is

waterpark. This is always a popular event so please make sure to RSVP early!

our favorite table top games. Bring your Magic cards, Pokemon cards, favorite board game, or RPG to share with your friends. Snacks
will be served and fun will be had! See you there!
IFTY (9-12): IFTY is headed to The Escape Room on February 8. This is sure to be a fun night, but space is limited, so RSVP early! The Annual
IFTY Purim Carnival is on March 8. Be sure to sign up to help volunteer at the biggest fundraiser that IFTY has each year. There are a ton
of ways to help: running games, selling wristbands, working at the doors, or even helping the Humane Society or Blood Mobile, who
both will be here! Spring Kallah is in Nashville, Tennessee this year. Join teens from Ohio Valley during April 2-5 for a weekend of fun,
friendship, Judaism, and more. Spring Kallah is when we hold the Regional Board elections and everyone in attendance gets to vote!

Volunteers Needed for Dayspring Dinners in 2020
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 5:30pm to 7:15pm on the first Sunday of every month, a few 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 2020!
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 (accessible through the IHC website, ihcindy.org) or
contact Jackie Suess at jsuess1417@gmail.com.
11From Jewish Learning to Living
by Rabbi Roxanne Shapiro
It is Hanukkah time as this article is written, and so there are plenty of treats and gifts being passed around.
Our staff kitchen is filled with cookies and donuts. Friends and family exchange presents and may do nice things for
neighbors. Our Sisterhood arranges for “Hanukkah Hellos” so that our congregation may reach out to one another
with greetings. This year, inspired by social media, I left out snacks for package delivery people on the front porch. I
was delighted when I was able to watch, courtesy of “Ring,” the reaction of an individual delivering a package to
our front door when she saw the snacks out for her. These small, thoughtful gestures can help to create the warm
feelings of the season.
But long before December was the “holiday season,” there was another season that called for gifting,
feasting, and merrymaking.
“They are to observe them as days of feasting and merrymaking
and as an occasion for sending gifts to one another and presents to the poor.” (Esther 9:22)
This verse, near the end of the scroll of Esther, talks about the celebration of Purim. Yet, this verse set the
stage for two of the wonderful mitzvot of Purim known in Hebrew as mishloah manot (or shalach manos), sending
gifts; and mattanot le-evyonim, presents to the poor.
During the Hebrew month of Adar (usually falling on the secular calendar in late February – early March), in
North America, Israel, and around the world, many Jews fulfill the mitzvot of sending gifts to one another and giving
gifts to the poor. In fact, in Israel, Hanukkah is not the major gift-giving holiday. Many kids in Israel get only candy
and chocolate for Hanukkah. Indeed, Purim is the holiday to give and receive gifts. (My religious school students
are always thrilled to hear this when I teach this during Purim time. They want to run home to tell their parents.
However, I then warn them that if they get major gifts for Purim, they should not be getting them for Hanukkah. Most
have not been willing to make this trade of gift-giving holidays.)
The reason behind the mitzvah of giving presents to the poor was that it helps enable those who are poor
to celebrate Purim as a day for feasting and merrymaking. Those who may not have disposable income could
decide that they should not participate in the celebration. However, it was thought that if they were gifted with
these items, they would be more willing to celebrate the holiday. While this is an act of tzedakah, the rabbis pushed
forth the idea that this mitzvah should be performed in addition to the regular acts of tzedakah that one may
already perform.
The sending of gifts to one another fulfills a mitzvah intended to enhance the celebration of this day of
marking the victory over Haman’s evil decree. Gifts were intended to be given outside of the home to friends
and to neighbors. One interpretation of this act suggests that this mitzvah will increase friendship and community
among Jews, thus dispelling Haman’s claim that there was strife among them. I think we may be able to agree that
this goodwill can increase the sense of community.
The original mitzvah, based on the text, was more thoroughly detailed through time. It is technically now
understood to mean a gift of two or more ready-to-consume food or drink items to at least one other person. This
is a mitzvah for all genders (not all mitzvot were/are). Those who include the practice of mishloah manot as part
of their Purim celebration often make it small gifts of food and drink. These often include baked goods, such as
hamantashen; fruits; nuts (make sure the receiver does not have allergies); juice; wine; etc. on a decorated plate
or bag. A folk-art custom had once been to elaborately decorate the plate that would be given along with the
food items. Some still take the time to decorate the package or attach a note with festive Purim wishes. But don’t
worry, you do not have to be a Pinterest fanatic or a crafter to participate in this Purim mitzvah.
So, if you are a Hanukkah baker and like to distribute treats then, why not try it for Purim? If you are a crafter
and like to make special things for friends, why not choose to give gifts on Purim? It does not matter how large or
small the gift, it is the thought that counts.
Purim Sameach! Happy Purim!

18Did You Hear The One About Haman?
Naomi Pfefferman, jewishjournal.com, March 4, 2004
“Purim is bizarre,” said comedian Joel Chasnoff. Or at least the customs are a little weird. Consider the way Jews
celebrate the demise of Haman, the bad guy: “We eat him,” Chasnoff said. “Actually we eat a pastry that’s named after his
ears, and the natural implication is that the filling inside is some sort of fruity earwax.”
The “eew”-factor led to a sketch, “Haman on the Couch,” that graces Chasnoff’s CD, “Hanukah Guilt: The Comedy
of Joel Chasnoff.” In the sketch, an agoraphobic Haman visits a psychiatrist because he’s been suffering paranoid delusions,
notably the fear that throngs of children will chase him down to lick poppy seeds out of his ears.
The religiously specific bit is what one might expect of Chasnoff, who, at 30, has already carved out a niche with humor
based on loving spoofs of Jewish life.
“He speaks from a very positive Jewish perspective and also a deeply Jewish perspective,” said Jeff Rubin,
communications director of Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life in Washington, D.C.
While comics such as Chris Rock and Margaret Cho riff on their respective minority cultures, Chasnoff does the same
about growing up a religious Jew. Influenced by observational comics such as Seinfeld, his observations are of attending a
Chicago-area day school, his Conservative bar mitzvah, visiting Israel and, of course, the holidays.
One of his favorites, as a kid, was Purim, when Chasnoff and his classmates wore elaborate costumes to school. In the
fourth grade, he recalls, he went as pop star Michael Jackson, which now seems kind of scary, but then was almost de rigeur.
“I was this 3-foot Jewish kid wearing glitter and a glove and trying unsuccessfully to moonwalk,” he recalled. “It was
great.”
Purim was the perfect holiday for Chasnoff, the class clown, who found eliciting yuks to be “a way of getting attention.”
“I was always short,” said the comic, who is still slight in stature. “I remember when I was 4 or 5, I even had nightmares
about being a dwarf or a midget. So being funny wasn’t exactly compensation, but it was a way of standing out. Plus it felt
good to make people laugh.”
Chasnoff found himself dressing up, yet again, for the University of Pennsylvania’s Mask and Wig comedy troupe, whose
all-male actors performed in drag.
“I wore pantyhose, high heels and tight-fitting dresses,” he said. “I was a skinny guy, so I had a pretty good bod.”
He was more than pretty good when he did his first standup show at Hillel, his junior year, armed with observations
he’d jotted in a notebook. Soon thereafter, he visited a friend at the University of Michigan and convinced that Hillel to let him
perform for $1 a person. Chasnoff began making a name for himself on the Hillel circuit, but opted to put his career on hold
after graduating from Penn in 1996. He had long-dreamed of serving in the Israeli army: “It was the ultimate commitment to the
country, and I knew I’d regret it forever if I didn’t go,” he said.
His one-year stint proved to be a positive Jewish — and comedic — experience. It inspired bits about the most common
Israeli word, “Ehhhhhhhh,” and about the security guards who questioned him at the airport: “Did you pack your bags while
you were by yourself, with no help from your parents, your grandparents … or Hamas?”
When he returned to the United States, the Israeli riffs became part of his act, along with bits about American Jewish
life. For example, Chasnoff joked about Lieberman winning the presidency, “which would be great because then we could
finally get rid of that stupid Easter egg hunt on the White House lawn and replace it with a national search for the Afikomen.”
He says his act is stereotype-free: “I’ve made a conscious decision that my comedy will be based on positive, genuine
experiences,” he said. “It really bothers me when Jewish comics who don’t really have any Jewish identity make fun of Judaism.
It’s just so detrimental. How many jokes can you tell about Jews being uptight with money?”
Chasnoff, who now performs within and without the Jewish community, feels his ethnic bits have been more successful
than the generic observations he riffs on while performing in mainstream clubs.
“But right now a lot of my Jewish stuff is only understood by Jews, and I’m kind of sorry about that,” he said. “I’m
searching for ways to bring Judaism into my act in a way that can be understood by everyone.”
One solution has been talking about his wife and 2-year-old twin daughters, which has allowed him “to be personal
without just relying on my Judaism.”
But Chasnoff’s heritage — and Jewish pride — will always remain part of his act. Consider “The Purim Song” on his CD,
which playfully disses the stereotype of Jews taking over the world.
“I make it clear we haven’t,” he said. “Because if we had, New Year’s Eve would be in September.”

19Securing Our Jewish Community
Debby Barton Grant, Executive Director of the JFGI
October 30, 2019
As I begin thinking about 2020 and starting the Jewish new year, I look back one year ago on the attack on
three Pittsburgh congregations. This incident was the worst targeted attack on the Jewish community in the history of
our country. Months later, we saw the attack in Poway, California on another synagogue. In considering these attacks, I
am – and have been – looking at ways that we can strengthen security throughout our Jewish community.
Over the past several years, Jewish communities locally, and around the world, have been shaken by acts of
violence toward Jewish people, organizations and places of worship. According to the FBI, hate crimes against the
Jewish community are at their highest level in decades: 58% of all religiously motivated hate crimes are directed against
our community…over three times higher than the next group. Over the last year and a half, we have taken seriously
what’s happened at home and in other communities in the United States.
I want you to know that security has been and continues to be of the utmost importance to the Jewish Federation.
We cannot control where the next incident of hatred may occur, but we can choose how prepared we are to deter and
respond to any such incident.
With the recent rise in this activity and based on feedback we have heard from you, I am pleased to announce
that we are in the process of instituting a Community Security program, on behalf of our entire Jewish community. This
program will be led by a new Regional Security Director, who we will be hiring in the near future. We are undertaking this
effort in partnership with Secure Community Network (SCN).
SCN, a non-profit organization and an initiative of Jewish Federations of North America and the Conference
of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, is the official safety and security organization of the Jewish
community. In addition to serving as the community official liaison with federal law enforcement, and working closely
with state and local law enforcement, SCN works to implement best practice security programs on behalf of Jewish
institutions and communities across the U.S.
By partnering with SCN, we will ensure that our program is consistent with best practices that have been
developed both nationally and internationally, while providing the expertise of a national organization comprised of law
enforcement, security and military professionals to support our Security Advisor and their work.
Our dedicated security professional, coordinating through SCN, will develop programs that will oversee:
• Facility assessments
• Security planning and preparedness
• Communication strategies
• Training for all community institutions including:
Synagogues
Day schools
Community centers
Residential facilities
Camps
Social service providers and other organizations
• Incident response
The Indianapolis Regional Security Director will join a critical network of more than 45 other security professionals
across the Jewish Federation system.
This position will serve the entire Jewish community, and the Jewish Federation is partnering with most of our
agencies and synagogues, all of whom have already made a financial commitment to this undertaking. But even
with some resources committed, we need to raise more funds to bring this effort to fruition. We cannot do this without
your help. Please join us in this effort and donate to Jewish community security by making a gift directed to this security
initiative through the Annual Campaign.
As we work to ensure that every Jewish organization in our community is as safe and welcoming as possible,
we also want everyone to focus on celebrating community stories and how our programs, scholarships, education,
engagement, and events positively affect all of the generations that make up our community.
To donate, visit http://give.idonate.com/jf-greater-indy/security
or call the Federation at 317.726.5450.
