== Chabad in the City ==
In the year 5692, Rabbi [[Eliezer Silver]] was chosen as the city's rabbi. Rabbi Silver was close to Chabad and even met with [[the Frierdiker Rebbe]] during his visit to the United States in 5689. After the passing of the Frierdiker Rebbe, he maintained a close connection with the Rebbe, and worked with him on communal matters. Rabbi Silver served as the city's rabbi until his passing on 8 Shevat 5728.

After Rabbi Silver's passing, Rabbi Azriel Zelig Sharpstein took his place and served as the rabbi of the Jewish community in Cincinnati on behalf of the "City Council" until his passing in 5768. The Rebbe also guided him on how to fight against the Reform movement.

In the summer of 5735, [[Sholom Dovber Kalmanson|Rabbi Sholom Dovber Kalmanson]] was sent by [[the Rebbe]]. Immediately upon his arrival in the city, he began his activities, and within a short time managed to acquire a building for [[Rosh Hashanah]] and [[Yom Kippur]] prayers. From there, he continued his activities over the years.

Upon his arrival, he opened [[Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim - Cincinnati|the Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim Cincinnati]], which was later closed due to difficulties. The yeshiva reopened in 5764 as a Semicha institute managed by Rabbi Gur-Aryeh. In Elul 5766, the yeshiva officially became a small yeshiva under the management of the Rosh Yeshiva, [[Gershon Avtzon|Rabbi Gershon Avtzon]].

Over the years, with the successful expansion of activities, several additional Chabad Houses were established in the city and its surroundings.
