All Sides with Ann Fisher - 11:00 AM - Columbus Jewish History's Ties to Bexley
 
Play
 
The City of Bexley is best known for its leafy streets, its good schools, and its robust Jewish population. But that neighborhood began as a Lutheran stronghold and Jews were excluded until 1920. Today, 1 in 5 Columbus Jews lives in Bexley. Twenty five years ago, it was 1 in 3. We'll discuss Bexley's historical- and continued-significance for the Jews of Columbus.

Guests:

Gordon Hecker, President of the Columbus Jewish Federation
Toby Brief, president of the Columbus Jewish Historical Society
Ben Kessler, mayor of Bexley, OH
