Focusing on current, former, and now extinct places of worship used by Cincinnati’s Jewish community, J.
Miles Wolf has culled synagogue and community archives, libraries, and personal local collections for historic
photographs to combine with his stunning new photography, resulting in images that illustrate the early days of
Jewish Cincinnati in a style that has never been attempted before.
