Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Indianapolis

The first-known Jewish settlers in Indianapolis were Moses Woolf, Alexander and Daniel Franco, who emigrated from London about 1850. At one time the JC Center’s address at 67th and Hoover roughly corresponded with the Jewish population center of the Indianapolis Jewish community. This is no longer the case. It hasn’t been the case, in fact, for around 30 years. These days the Jewish population is to be found further north in Westfield and Zionville and numbers around 10,000. The six or so synagogues are also located near the JCC in Meridian Hills. There is very little in the way of places that you can eat kosher food in, there are shops you can by kosher food from.
