The Bexley City Council unanimously passed a resolution Jan. 10 condemning all forms of antisemitism in a move that Mayor Ben Kessler, council president Troy Markham and council member Lori Ann Feibel told the Columbus Jewish News is being used to take a public stand against the rise of such hate.
In the days leading up to the vote, Kessler, Markham and Feibel told the CJN the resolution came to be as they witnessed an ever growing display of antisemitism in the country, including by national celebrities.
They said taking a stand was important as it was true to the nature of the city of Bexley and personal to council members.
