Season one of Who the Folk?! Cincinnati has come to an end!
Thank you for coming on this journey with us over the past few months. Season one had some growing pains in the technical department, but we found our footing. We got to meet and hear the stories of the people who make our city and our Jewish community unique.
We heard from rabbis like Ari Jun and Zach Goodman. Café owners Lainey and Yair Richler. We learned about the importance of preserving stories of the Nancy and David Wolfe Holocaust and Humanity Center CEO Jackie Congedo.

And hear about Cincinnati’s past, listening to the stories of Evelyn Fisher z’’l and Lawrence Essig z’’l.
We had conversations about resilience and spiritual seeking with Ifat Lahyani. The challenges of moving to a new City from Chandler Waite, or to a new country in the middle of a war with Liam Reis, and sat and talked with the JCC softball unofficial historian, Rick Lefton.
