PORTSMOUTH:
Greenlawn: This cemetery probably has some Jewish
burials. Source: JGS Cincinnati. "The Hebrew Congregation" from
Nelson Evans' History of Scioto County , Ohio 1903, pages
531-32: "The Hebrew congregation of Portsmouth, known by its
Hebrew name, "K'bal Kodesh Bene Abraham" (K. I. B. A.) or its
English equivalent "The Holy Congregation of the Children of
Abraham," was founded presumably in the early part of the fifties
(l850's)...the Congregation was incorporated in l858... The
incorporation of the Congregation took place November l, l858.
The Board of Trustees at that time consisted of Louis Levi, Mayer
Eichelstein, Ludwig Stern, Isaac Freiberg, Jacob Stern, Mayer
Seeberger, and Bernard Dreyfoos.... In l864, Thomas Dugan offered
to sell his property on the corner of Washington and Third
streets. After due deliberation the Congregation decided to buy
the building in partnership with the Masons; the Congregation to
have the first and second floors, the Masons the third floor....
From a strictly Orthodox Congregation at the beginning, it
gradually became more and more a rollover of the reforms
instituted and promulgated by the great reform leaders, Drs.
Einborn of Baltimore, and Wise of Cincinnati...
The first minister ever formally engaged by the
Congregation was Rabbi Wechsler, who served from l863 to l864.
Following is the list of Rabbis, who have served the congregation
ever since:--Rabbi Laser, l864-l866; Rabbi Gabricher, l866-l868;
Rabbi Eppstein, l868-l870; Rabbi Weil, l870-l871; Rabbi Gerstman,
l871-l873; Rabbi Kaufman, l873-l876; Rabbi Lasker, l876-l877;
Rabbi Stempel, l877-l879; Rabbi Eichelstein, l879-l886; Rabbi
Pollak, l886-l887; Rabbi Block, l887-l888; Rabbi Schapiro,
l888-l90l. The present [1903] incumbent of the Temple is Rabbi
Max Raisin, an alumnus of the Hebrew Union College and the
University of Cincinnati. The Jewish citizens of Portsmouth have
always done their utmost to live in peace and concord with their
Christian fellow-citizens and have never refused their
contributions toward other Congregations, when called upon. Their
Christian friends always reciprocate these feelings of
friendship. On the occasion of the dedication of the Jewish
Temple, September l864, the choir of the Presbyterian Church very
generously assisted at the services; and to this day most of the
members of the choir at the Temple are also members of the choir
of the Bigelow M. E. Church.
The present [1903] officers of the Congregation are:
President, I. Levi; Vice President, M. Lehman; Secretary, F.
Haas; Treasurer, B. Schloss. Other bodies within the Congregation
are The Ladies Temple Aid Society and the Jewish Kaffee Klatsch
for the mutual social intercourse between the members of the
Congregation." Reprinted with permission granted to Arline Sachs
