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.
