Community. Unity. Fashionable. Faith. Five words that were used as the guiding principles to reinvigorate the graphic identity of the Temple Sisterhood of Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation spirit. At the heart of the design is a subliminal Star of David, with a heavy side of E pluribus unum. Designed so that the viewer visually interprets a plethora of symbolism — This clean, fashionable, simply and colorful symbol embodies the essence of the sisterhood by expressing a sense of community, unity and modern forward thinking. Upon first observation, you get a sense of minimalist figures engaged in a spirited dance. Secondly, you see the original intent of the design — The curved rules representing individual arms interconnected with the dots being human heads — equal weight is given to all. And finally, the Magen David. Our Mission To join together in Sisterhood and, guided by the principles of Reform Judaism, to strengthen our congregation, our community and ourselves. 1 Temple Sisterhood of Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation Spring 2015 A Women’s Seder Thank you to those 140 who celebrated women at our 3rd annual Women’s Seder March 16th.

Thank you to all who donated, worked and shopped our incredible first year event November 15 & 16. We are proud to report that we netted almost $15,000 for Sisterhood and IHC! We could not have done it without you. Because of this success (and great left over items), we have decided to repeat the event and are looking for someone to chair or co‐chair the event. The blueprint and supplies are ready which will make things easier. We also are looking for someone to help us create and manage an EBay store. If you can help with either, please contact Sonja at [email protected] Ilana Porzecanski Peggy O’Brien Apter I am originally from Canada via lots of other places. I am married to Darrel Timpany, who is originally from New Zealand (I didn’t change my name when I got married because I use it professionally). We have two kids: Oz and Zev Timpany (both 7 years old). I work as a Physician at IU Methodist (specialty: Critical Care Medicine). We’ve been IHC members since August 2014. I joined Sisterhood in order to support the programs. Originally from Indianpolis, my husband Gary and I have 3 children: Morgan (18), Alex (26), and Nicole (28). My many and varied interests include reading, history, antiques, helping parents of kids with learning disabilities, cooking, decorating and my grandchildren. We’ve been members of IHC for 20 years. I joined Sisterhood to be more social in our temple and also to be more involved in the Temple to honor my father-in-law Max Apter, who ran a feeding program at IHC for many years! 4 Temple Sisterhood of Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation Gift Shop Hours Israeli Artist Yael Emanuel Shabbat Candle Holders - $50 Spring 2015 April & May Monday-Friday 10:00 am-2:00 pm Friday evenings 5:15 pm -6:15 pm Sundays* 9:00 am - 1:15 pm *When Religious School is in session.

We will discuss articles and issues included in the Lilith Magazine, which is a wonderful magazine for Reform Jewish women. Lilith magazine was first published in the 1970s and focuses on Jewish women. The magazine’s website states that Lilith Magazine is for: “Everyone interested in family politics, Jewish hair, race and reconciliation, new liturgies, good advice, fabulous fiction, parenting now, marriage equality, feminist philanthropy, sex, food— and so much more” - See more at: http://lilith.org/salons/#sthash.czTmInxH.dpuf The magazine focuses on social issues, religious issues, writing and poetry, travel, parenthood, food, and entertainment. There are four issues per year, and each Lilith Salon meeting will focus on an article or two. We will meet bi-monthly, rotating between members’ homes and IHC. It will be like a book club, but with less content to focus on and a bit more fun! Next meeting is on April 22nd. Care to join us? Want more info? Contact Rosanne Marusa at [email protected], or Jenny AngelReece at [email protected]. Thank you to Bonnie Foster and Sonja Kantor for their service as IHC Sisterhood Presidents! Congratulations as their names were recently added to the Past Presidents’ plaque.
