Pinkas Hazahav (The Golden Ledger) of Cincinnati’s Orthodox Community

caption:
The city of Cincinnati was settled by Jews over a hundred years ago. There is mention of Jews [living] there in the year 5577 (1816-17). There is an orthodox cemetery on Chestnut St. containing Jewish graves from the year 5581(1820-21). The tombstones are all in pure Hebrew with no hint of English [influence]. This cemetery was in use until the year 5609 (1848-49) and is now closed. The city is praised far and wide for its charities, leaders, and wise men. From the time of its founding G-d fearing laypeople as well as Torah scholars could be found, alongside intellectuals and secular extremists. A secret war between lions and young lions, a stubborn ideological war, has always reigned between the G-d fearing and the reformers. Here the old as the new stand like boulders facing off against each other.
 
[In order to preserve] its memory for eternity let us mention that there was also a cemetery on Court St. near Wessel, but buildings have been built over it and the graves are no longer noticeable. A pity.
