DavidHoguetFamily_IMG_1476 copyWhen JCGC was being formed, the plan was to raise enough funds to set it on the path to self-sustainability. A generous grant from the Jewish Foundation and a successful Friends Campaign fulfilled this goal. Going forward, JCGC relies primarily on Legacy Gifts to ensure that the original plan stays on course.

There are two principal reasons why my legacy gift is designated for JCGC. First, I have spent the last seven years of my career as JCGC’s Executive Director. Under the guidance of four different Board Presidents and a great Board, we have kept the cemeteries on a solid path to self-sustainability and we are in the midst of developing a new cemetery that will serve our community for at least the next 100 years. In some small way, I’d like to give back to help see that this work continues to be successful.

Second, I am fascinated by the history that is contained in the cemeteries. If you want to learn more about the history of the Jews in Cincinnati, take a tour through our cemeteries. And if you don’t want to do a cemetery tour, you can always find those that are interred in our cemeteries by going to the Genealogy tab on our website. You can start the tour with the English pioneers who were the first Jews to settle here in the early 1800’s and are interred in our Chestnut Street cemetery. You can move on to the Walnut Hills and Clifton cemeteries where many of the leaders of the Reform movement are interred. Travel over to the West Side where several of the Price Hill cemeteries date back as far as Walnut Hills and Clifton. Price Hill and Covedale are the resting places of many of the turn of the century Eastern European immigrants. With the exception of Chestnut Street, which became closed to burials in 1849, all of the other cemeteries are still active. Every year, their histories become richer, and I haven’t even mentioned Montgomery, which is our most active cemetery today. So it’s not only important that we maintain self-sufficiency to continue to serve the community well, it’s also very important that we preserve the memories contained in our cemeteries.

I can’t think of a better place for a Legacy Gift.

    What an honor to have been part of this historic year of events! Thank you to the Cincinnati Preservation Association for the kind recognition. Chazak, chazak v’nitchazeik – wishing our entire community success in moving from strength to strength!Each year, the Cincinnati Preservation Association's Preservation Awards recognize outstanding accomplishments in local preservation activities in the areas of preservation leadership, education, rehabilitation, adaptive reuse, and sustainability.We're doing something different this year by sharing our honorees ahead of time! Please join us in congratulating the honorees as they are announced, and follow the link below to RSVP to the 2022 Annual Meeting and Preservation Awards that will take place at 4pm on Sun 4 Dec at ARCO in Price Hill! (ARCO Cincy is a 2020 CPA award winner in the Rehabilitation category.)Education is one of CPA's founding principles, and education is key to connecting people to the importance of our history and the need to preserve it. This year’s education award goes to the Jewish Cincinnati Bicentennial, a 14-month long celebration that featured more than 50 events, including genealogy exercises, history lessons, concerts, dance performances, and art exhibitions with a range of collaborators and partner organizations.Jewish community life in Cincinnati formally began with the founding of Chestnut Street Cemetery in 1821, on land purchased from the largest landowner in the area, Nicholas Longworth.The Jewish Cincinnati Bicentennial kicked off on 26 Sep 2021 with the rededication of this burial ground, one of the Jewish Cemeteries of Greater Cincinnati. In preparation for the start of the celebration, the tombstones were cleaned, a plaza and educational panels were added, and the gate, fence and brick wall around the cemetery were restored and repaired.L’dor v'dor — from generation to generation — the Jewish Cincinnati Bicentennial looked back on 200 years of history and forward to continuing contributions to the city. This milestone was a chance for both celebration and reflection, and presented a compelling opportunity for the community to come together as one.Congratulations to everyone involved for providing a robust platform for us all to learn about and celebrate 200 years of Jewish life in Cincinnati!Stay tuned as we continue to announce the 2022 honorees and please plan to join us at ARCO this Sunday: www.eventbrite.com/e/2022-preservation-awards-and-annual-meeting-tickets-430317470137 ...
