We were lucky enough to work with the good people from the Ohavay Zion Synagogue of Lexington, KY on there Centennial Celebration. It was so much fun learning all the history and getting to know all the people involved.
"Just after the turn of the century, the first of our founders came to Lexington and encouraged their relatives and friends to join them here. The Orthodox Jewish community then consisted of just 8 or 10 families. They gathered in downtown stores for Minyans. This practice of Davening in the stores still lingered 50 years later with Minyans in Abie Grossman's store on Water Street until it closed in the late 60's. Traditionally, the Odd Fellows hall on West Short Street was rented for the High Holy Days.
It was on Yom Kippur, 1911that the congregation came to a decision to incorporate and find a home of its own. As the story goes, in the middle of the Kol Nidre service, members of the Lodge arrived, forgetting they had rented the hall on their regular meeting night. Our founders were asked to leave. The services were moved to someone's house and a vow was made then and there, to find a permanent home for the congregation.
Thus it was, on April 25, 1912, Ohavay Zion Synagogue was officially incorporated by David Ades, Sol Kahn, Beryl Kravetz, Nathan Rogers and Joe Rosenberg. Nathan Rogers was the first president."
