Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Akron

In the mid-1800s, many Jewish families joined the western expansion and emigrated from Germany to Akron, a canal town that also had an inviting countryside. They sought economic security and religious freedom―a new start in a new town. In 1929, the Akron Jewish Center opened and provided a place for all of the diverse Jewish groups in Akron to gather. The dramatic influx of Eastern European Jews increased population figures some forty-fold to estimates ranging from 6,500 to 7,500. The Jewish population of Akron is far fewer these days and also the number of synagogues has reduced.

What Is *JOFY?

JOFY, or "Jewish Observant Friendly" Establishments are lodging establishments offering special services for Jewish Observant guests such as Shabbat meals, accommodation on lower floors and regular keys for the rooms. It can also be a NON KOSHER establishment located in walking distance from the local Shul, community or kosher restaurants area.

Please note - *JOFY does NOT mean that KOSHER food is served on the premises!
