“The Origins of Dayton’s Jewish Community” by Marshall Weiss

Since the arrival of approximately a dozen German Jewish immigrants in the 1840s, the Jewish community of Dayton has actively contributed to the betterment and welfare of the Gem City. Marshall Weiss will share forgotten stories of our Jewish community in its earliest years, with a particular focus on the influence of Cincinnati’s Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise, architect of Reform Judaism in the United States. This informative event is brought to you by the Temple Beth Or Adult Education Committee.
