Catalogue Note
In the mid 19th century, Cincinnati was the nation's third largest Jewish community. The Noyoth Institue was founded in 1855 by congregation Bene Israel. They had moved in 1852 to a newly-constructed building on Broadway, and the election of Max Lilienthal in 1855 combined with the influence of Dr. Isaac M Wise moved the congregation in a more liberal direction.
