Thank You to JCGC’s “Create Your Jewish Legacy” Donors

JCGC is one of 12 local Jewish organizations participating in the first cohort of the Create Your Jewish Legacy Program. To date, JCGC has received 40 legacy gifts under CYJL and also has earned $15,000 from the Harold Grinspoon Foundation and the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati for outstanding participation in the program during 2015. More recently JCGC became the first CYJL team to secure 100% board participation, thereby securing an additional $500 in incentive grant dollars!

We thank those individuals who have made a Legacy Gift to JCGC and have become a member of our Guardians Society.

Jewish Cemeteries of Greater Cincinnati

#DidYouKnow that in 1848, after his neighbors told him that they did not want a Jewish neighbor, Charles Kahn bought land in Clifton and sold it to Ahabeth Achim to found the first Jewish cemetery in the Clifton area? Kahn told his neighbors that if they did not want to live in the same community as a living Jew, they could not object to a dead one.

Thank you to our Workum Intern, Sam, for sharing this powerful story. #jewishcemeteries ... See MoreSee Less

Jewish Cemeteries of Greater Cincinnati
2 weeks ago
#DidYouKnow that we are hosting two Workum Interns this summer through JVS Career Services? Brooke Goldwasser and Sam Ruskin are helping organize our archival materials to better support families working on genealogical research. They hope to build professional skills this summer, learn about genealogical research and the archival process, and understand how Jewish Cemeteries of Greater Cincinnati supports our community. Brooke is a student at Rutgers University and Sam is coming to us from The Ohio State University.

Started in 1917 as the first organized scholarship fund in Cincinnati, the Workum Fund now supports Cincinnati college students as they gain work experience in local Jewish organizations. You can learn more about the history of the Workum Fund here: www.workum.org/history.htm Many Workum family members and founders of the fund are buried in our cemeteries. #jewishcemeteries ...
