IHC was my family's congregation for generations. My great-grandparents were part of the campaign…read moreto move the temple up north from 10th Street. My family has history here. That's why I was left so disgusted by my experience when I attended services this past summer. Congregants are only seen as a money source and if one is on a fixed income or poor, then IHC has no interest in including them. The current clergy and temple leadership are some of the most disingenuous people I've ever encountered. They say all the right things, reading from a carefully prepared script, but they don't mean a word of it. No one follows through at all. The "welcome" only extends to those with children to enroll in the ECC and deep pockets to donate financially. The security guard at the front door was the only genuinely nice people I met during my visits - and he's not even Jewish! Oh, and nepotism is alive and well at IHC! It's bad enough that the senior rabbi has toxic narcissistic tendencies, but his non-clergy wife inserts herself into services and various support groups, even though there are members of the congregation who could fill these roles. The pair even scheme to turn official trips, such as taking teens to NYC(?) into family vacations on the synagogue's dime. Your membership dues at work! Honestly, if this happened at any other synagogue or in ANY other organization, there would be legal repercussions. After speaking with people during post-Shabbat Oneg, I learned many people shared my discomfort but they're too afraid of angering the mighty RBK to speak up. My parents and grandparents always talked so highly of IHC. I'm sad to see what it's become and hope there is a clergy/staff turnover soon. I'd love to see it become the welcoming beacon of Reform Judaism I heard about growing up.

Both of my sons have attended their daycare and the staff and facility is top-notch. We had tried another daycare because IHC changed their pick up times after covid to be earlier and we could no longer get there in time. The daycare we switched to, St. Nicholas, had very high turnover in staff and their facility was often dirty. Im so glad to have our youngest back at IHC!

Very egotistical. Got the impression that they don't need any new members because they are happy with their current cliques. I won't even go into how dirty the place was. The childcare/pre school smelled of diapers, probably because they were changing kids dirty diapers in the middle of the floor. Oh and when I went to the bathroom... I won't even go there. Stay away!! Stay far away. There must be nice Jews in Bloomington somewhere, but not at this place.

Real people. No one is pretentious. A fun place to learn about Adonai.read more
