$20.00
Created By: Marc Lee Raphael
From the dust jacket: “Marc Lee Raphael’s fascinating saga of Jewish life in Columbus is peopled by women selling vegetables or chickens from garages, beloved and not-so-beloved rabbis, philanthropists, peddlers turned merchant princes, civic leaders, Zionists, and synagogue builders.
Raphael describes the German and east European waves of immigration and the development of the Jewish community, its synagogues, temples, and organizations; and surveys Columbus Jewry in the 1970s, measuring attitudes toward Judaism, politics, Israel, philanthropy, and education.” Dust jacket included, 483 pages with preface, introduction, endnotes, appendix, bibliography, abbreviations, and index.
