Genealogy Super Sunday –

The 8th annual Genealogy Super Sunday is Sunday, December 12th.

Jewish middle schoolers will be challenged to think about where they came from and who they are today.

This year, Columbus Jewish Historical Society (CJHS) facilitators will be inviting seventh grade students at Congregation Beth Tikvah, Temple Beth Shalom, and Temple Israel to join a session with their parents and/or grandparents either in person or via Zoom. Facilitators will encourage students to share family photos, keepsakes, documents, and other family memorabilia, and explain what they learned from these items. As pre-work, students will design a “Coat of Arms” that represents their families of origin to share with their class.

Sunday September 12, 4:00 PM at Performance Parkway Cemeteries

This past year has been a difficult year for our community.   The loss of so many community members was compounded by our inability to gather in person to bury the dead, comfort the living and pay tribute to our lost loved ones.  Join us as we gather to memorialize those we lost from March, 2020 through Summer 2021.

Jerry Springer – The Man You Thought You Knew

Columbus Jewish Historical Society Annual Fundraiser

Many of us know Jerry Springer as a TV host, a former mayor, and/or an actor.  What you may not know is that he is the child of Holocaust survivors. Jerry’s parents were German Jewish refugees who escaped Nazi Germany just before the Second World War.  He was born in war-torn London. They arrived in the United States in 1949 when Jerry was just six years old.

In case you missed it, here is a link to our 4/18/21 program:
