Wounded Warriors—1918 and 2018
The nature of war injuries has changed dramatically over the past 100 years, but so has the quality of medical care. Modern techniques now allow functional survival after injuries that were uniformly disabling or fatal 100 years ago. Of our 262 central Ohio WWI veterans, several sustained life changing injuries. Join us at The Historical Collection on July 1 for this special presentation.

For the fifth consecutive year, the CJHS will introduce Jewish middle schoolers to genealogy with the intention of stimulating their interest in where they came from and who they are!
During the Thanksgiving holiday season, seventh and eighth graders at: Congregation Beth Tikvah, Temple Beth Shalom, Temple Israel and Congregation Tifereth Israel had a special “homework” assignment. They were asked to talk to their relatives, especially the elders, about their families’ origins and stories. They came to religious school, with their parents, on December 3rd or 10th, depending on the school, to participate in Genealogy Super Sunday. During each session, CJHS facilitators encouraged the students to share family photos, keepsakes, documents, and other family memorabilia that they have collected.
Pictures from our 2018 event with Temple Beth Shalom held at the New Albany JCC:
Below are just a select few pictures of this wonderful event at both Beth Tikvah and Temple Israel from 2017:
