For more than 120 years, Izzy’s has been serving up the World’s Greatest Reubens.
Our story starts in the late 1800’s when a couple of Jewish immigrants left behind an economic depression and oppression politics of the Czar from Russia. Like many at that time they felt the New World offered them a real chance to succeed and be free. Settling in Cincinnati Mr. Kadetz offered his flair for cooking at the renowned Sinton St. Nicolas Hotel in Cincinnati. With his confidence in culinary expertise and not being afraid of taking risk he opened the first kosher style delicatessen West of the Alleghenies. His legacy has lived on tracing back to the start in 1901.
The stiff-necked and stubborn character of Izzy often left people with many memories. Whether it was the shouting back and forth between himself and his wife Rose, or the price of food that varied depending on what you were wearing and if you looked like you had extra money to spend. Izzy’s boisterous style coupled along with the savoring food left many Cincinnatians with great food and good memories.
In 1980 Izzy’s son David began running the restaurant. David carried much of the same qualities possessed by Izzy and soon grew the reputation and business of Izzy’s tremendously. In 1982 David opened a second restaurant on Sixth and Main Street in downtown Cincinnati, and he asked trusted friend John Geisen, then a skilled tradesman, to manage the location.
John worked closely with the Kadetz family, who took him under their wing and began to instill their family and business values. John came to understand that the secret to Izzy’s success was rooted in offering superior quality along with the highest level of customer service.
Together John and David helped grow the business over the years and John Geisen became the President and CEO.
John embarked on a mission to instill his passion for quality on everyone at Izzy’s—from the store managers to the front line staff. This “can-do” culture can be seen everyday at all Izzy’s locations, whether it’s a simple request for a special sandwich, or catering a party for 200 guests, Izzy’s employees understand that the customer is King. This passion for pleasing patrons easily explains the fierce loyalty shared by so many fans of Izzy’s.
Consistently ranked as the “best deli in Cincinnati“, visitors to this tri-state tradition soon realize that Izzy’s offers a unique experience that blends great food with friendly and attentive staff, all while maintaining the highest in quality and value.
But the Izzy’s family is not content to rest on their laurels; from serving on old pickle barrels with wood crates as chairs to the latest location having a drive-thru, modern lighting, comfortable seating and the latest innovative cooking equipment still serving the same homemade recipes Izzy Kadetz was handed down from his father dating back to 1901.
The future of Izzy’s will undoubtedly bring John’s passion for value and service beyond the tri-state. He remains eternally grateful for his fortunate relationship with Izzy, David, Rose, and the entire Kadetz Family. Upon reflecting on his time with them, John recalls back to the 80’s when he asked them, “Do you know what you get when you mix a Jew and a Catholic?”
The answer was a simple reply: “Success!”

ABOUT CATHOLICS FOR CATHOLICS:
Who started Catholics for Catholics and what is its mission?
We are a group of Catholics who love God and Country.
Our Faith impels us to make our voices heard in the public square as the Savior instructed us not to keep our light under a basket.
Furthermore, since so many core American principles sync with the bedrock 2,000 year old teaching of our own Catholic Faith, this validates even more our mission to be in the world, though not of it.
As a 501c4 organization Catholics for Catholics provides educational resources about Catholic doctrine including materials addressing Catholic leaders’ positions on public policy, legislation, and other matters affecting social welfare. Catholics for Catholics also promotes related activities that similarly promote social welfare based on Catholic doctrinal teachings.
The two-tiered focus of education and action as outlined above, will help us to hold our elected leaders accountable to the Constitution and in a special way to those politicians who refer to themselves as Catholic. Recently, we have witnessed a unique crisis unfolding within both Church and State, as leaders in both have begun to veer from our guiding documents; the Holy Bible and Constitution.
It is not enough to call oneself Catholic for one must show it with actions and policies that reflect it. The deafening silence of Church leaders who are the first ones tasked with guarding the truths of our Faith, has made it all the more urgent that we stand up now and hold the line.
The cultural climate has shown an increasingly hostile effort to silence voices like us. Yet by locking arms with other groups that are doing the same, and tapping into the blood of martyrs that flow in our veins, we will trust in the words of the Mother of Christ who said in the apparition of 1859 in Wisconsin, “Go and Fear Nothing, I will help you.”

Catholics for Catholics is moving hearts and minds for Jesus Christ and His Church—and inspiring a new wave of Catholicism and love of America.

MISSION
Helping to Bring Jesus Christ to Everyone …and Everyone to Jesus Christ

Our goal is to broadcast the beauty and teachings of the Catholic Church and to inform, inspire and challenge listeners so that all who hear our programming may be brought into the Kingdom of God.
We are not-for-profit, listener-supported Catholic Radio. We receive no direct financial support from either the Archdiocese of Indianapolis nor the diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana. We are grateful to both dioceses for their strong support of our mission and efforts.
Our corporate name is Inter Mirifica, a term coming from Vatican II, which is a call to action for the church laity to be responsible for evangelization.
Our Patron, Priest and Martyr 1894-1941
Feast Day - Aug 14th
St. Maximilian Kolbe was a well-known communicator, before later becoming a martyr in a Nazi prisoner of war camp. He foumaximilian kolbended the Knights of the Immaculata, whose aim was to fight evil with the witness of the good life, prayer, work and suffering. His organization founded several houses for religious in Poland and Japan and published a magazine that reached a circulation of over 1,000,000. In Poland he also set up the very first Catholic radio station in that part of the world. The broadcasts were 100% local and featured teaching, music and singing by members of one of his religious communities.
After the fall of Poland in 1939, St. Maximilian and several of his friars were arrested, imprisoned, but later released. Several months later, the Nazis re-arrested St. Maximilian, imprisoned him, which ultimately lead to his being held at Auschwitz prison camp. There, after the escape of a prisoner, the commandant announced that 10 other prisoners, at random, would die in his place. One of those prisoners, when selected by the commandant, stated that he had a wife and children. St. Maximilian Kolbe volunteered to take his place without fanfare. The ten were led away to be confined in cells where they were allowed to starve to death.

SAINT JOSEPH
In Matthew 13:55, the people of Nazareth ask about Jesus, “Is he not the carpenter’s son?” Jesus’ neighbors knew him in relation to St. Joseph, a “righteous man” (Matthew 1:19) and skilled worker. The Church recognizes this special relationship by celebrating the annual feast of St. Joseph the Worker on May 1.
At Young Catholic Professionals, our mission calls upon the intercession of St. Joseph the Worker, the simple, righteous carpenter who lovingly taught Jesus his own trade and shows us the dignity of work through his quiet example. St. Joseph, who never speaks in Scripture but who nonetheless receives and acts on visions given to him by an angel, also reminds us of the importance of stillness, reflection, and prayer.
Every week, we gather to ask for his intercession as we build not just our careers but our lives after his example. Join us by phone for a few minutes of prayer to St. Joseph every Wednesday at 12pm U.S. Central Time.

Earl Kenneth Fernandes (born September 21, 1972) is Catholic prelate who has served as the 13th Bishop of Columbus in Ohio since 2022.
Fernandes is the first Indian-American bishop of the Latin Church in the United States, the first person of color to serve as the bishop of the Diocese of Columbus, and the youngest diocesan bishop in the United States.
Fernandes was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati on May 18, 2002, by Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains in Cincinnati. His first pastoral assignment was as vicar of Holy Angels Parish and a teacher at Lehman Catholic High School in Sydney, Ohio. In 2004, Fernandes went to Rome to study at the Alphonsian Academy, attaining his licentiate in moral theology in 2006 and a doctorate in moral theology with a concentration in bioethics in November 2007. During this time, he encountered the lay ecclesial movement of Communion and Liberation, and was deeply impacted by it. His episcopal motto is drawn from a prayer of the movement. While in Rome, Fernandes was also trained as an exorcist.
Back in Ohio, Fernandes taught at Mount Saint Mary's Seminary in Cincinnati and served as the academic dean there. In 2013, he published a book, Seminary Formation and Homosexuality, with the Institute for Priestly Formation. It defended Pope Benedict XVI's ban of the admission of gay men to Catholic seminaries.
Fernandes served as parochial administrator of Sacred Heart Parish from July 2014 to March 2016. There he celebrated the Tridentine Mass along with masses in Italian and English. He said most in attendance at the Latin Mass were young people... Looking for reverence and beauty, a sense of transcendence, and to be connected to their parents and grandparents, the generations of faith... The Latin Mass is also quiet. There’s so much noise and business in our lives. They enter into the liturgies interiorly and love it for its tradition, the Faith of their fathers.
Fernandes was also named a Missionary of Mercy by Pope Francis for the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy that year.
In 2016, Fernandes began to serve as a secretary to the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, first to Archbishop Carlo Viganò and then Archbishop Christophe Pierre.
Fernandes served as the pastor of St. Ignatius Loyola Parish in Cincinnati from 2019 to 2022. Fernandes became pastor of the parish after his predecessor was accused of a rape. Parishioners at St. Ignatius spoke highly of him and his management of the parish following the crisis.
Fernandes is a fourth-degree knight of columbus, as well as a member of the National Catholic Bioethics Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He has served as a judge on the archdiocesan marriage tribunal, and as a board member of the Pontifical College Josephinum.
On April 2, 2022, Fernandes was appointed 13th bishop of the Diocese of Columbus by Pope Francis, with his episcopal consecration and installation by Archbishop Dennis Schnurr occurring on May 31, 2022 at St. Paul the Apostle Church in Westerville, Ohio. Fernandes is the first Indian American bishop to serve in the Latin Church in the United States, as well as the first person of color to serve as head of the Diocese of Columbus. Fernandes is the fourth bishop of Columbus who was initially ordained as a priest for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. At his consecration as bishop, Fernandes was the youngest ordinary bishop in the United States.

Fernandes served as the pastor of St. Ignatius Loyola Parish in Cincinnati from 2019 to 2022. Fernandes became pastor of the parish after his predecessor was accused of a rape. Parishioners at St. Ignatius spoke highly of him and his management of the parish following the crisis.

Giving Back
At J.T.M., we understand that God did not put us on this earth just to make and sell food products.
We recognize that we must share the success we have earned with others. Partnering with organizations and causes within our region, and across the country, is part of our commitment to serve the communities where we live and work as well as those throughout the nation.

Our Core
We have always operated our business to minimize the impact on our planet because caring for the environment is a priority at J.T.M. Food Group. J.T.M. is family-owned and operated the way our founder, Jack Maas Sr., taught us. We run the business with our customers’ best interests as guiding principles. We have always believed it is in the best interest of all of us to be good stewards of the environment.
J.T.M. is a multi-million dollar, multi-faceted food processing company with strong ties to the communities in which we operate. Over the past decade, the company has stepped up its efforts in environmental sustainability in ways that better serve our communities. Simply put, we have been practicing sustainability long before it became fashionable to do so. We are in the sustainability business for the long haul.
Packaging Products Responsibly
J.T.M. began its transition to reduced packaging as part of our initiative toward environmental sustainability. We began when the company switched packages containing kettle-cooked products from an 80 gram polyethylene tub to a 17 gram bag. These products are now packaged in die cut boxes reducing packaging by 20%. The corrugated containers J.T.M. uses are made from 30% recycled content. The retail division changed its packaging from a 196 gram corrugated box to a 27 gram bag. These changes have resulted in source reductions in packaging materials.

- Corrugated and Office Paper Waste
- Ferrous Metals
- Plastic Cups

For Generations to Come
Our family knows the health of our environment today is really a commitment to future generations. The leadership at J.T.M. believes the steps we take now will leave our planet in better condition for generations to come.

Bringing Catholic Values to Life
ABOUT:
We are a Catholic fraternal benefit society dedicated to helping members achieve financial security through life insurance while supporting the Catholic community through fraternal outreach.
OUR HISTORY:
Our commitment to caring began on May 24, 1883 at Holy Family Parish in Chicago, Illinois. At that time, impoverished immigrants streamed into the United States seeking a better life. When families lost their breadwinner, friends and neighbors typically collected money to assist survivors financially
Those collecting money eventually formed associations, generally based on religious or ethnic backgrounds. Often these societies became focal points for community life. Forty-two men saw a need in their community, so they decided to financially protect their families by each placing $1 on a wooden desk to be used to protect any family in need. This desk resides in the Memorabilia Room at the Home Office. COF grew from this foundation and, for more than a century, has aided individuals, families and communities in need.
The name "Catholic Order of Foresters" refers to us being called to care for our Catholic community. As a forester cares for the forests and animals, we must care for our brothers and sisters in need.
TODAY:
Each member holds an insurance certificate and eligibility for COF’s member benefits, just one of many things that sets us apart from other life insurance companies. By offering members fraternal benefits, including scholarships, we bring Catholic values to life.
We have more than 95,000 adult and youth members nationwide. As a fraternal benefit insurance society, we operate under a representative system and hold a National Convention every four years. (Learn more about this process here.) COF is licensed in 38 states and Washington, D.C. Our product portfolio includes Term Life, Whole Life, Universal Life, and Annuities.
Members can be confident in the ease and security of doing business with COF. Our website allows members to view policy information in real time and pay bills securely online. All COF agents are trained in e-App, our digital life insurance application. Members and those interested in learning more about COF can communicate with us via phone, email, web form or text message, knowing we will be there when you need us most.
Our Home Office is located in Naperville, Illinois. The award-winning team here is comprised of more than 80 individuals. The team has earned a LOMA Excellence in Education Award, COF earned a 2017 Esteemed Partner Award from Catholic Charities - Diocese of Joliet, and Catholic Forester (COF’s bi-monthly magazine) received Awards for Publication Excellence (APEX) in 2017 and 2018.
INVESTING WITH CATHOLIC VALUES:
Catholic values are the foundation of our organization.
Our Catholic faith provides a foundation that contributes to the long-term strategy and successful track record of the management of Catholic Order of Foresters’ assets.
Catholic Order of Foresters’ Investment Policy Statement mandates the invested assets of the organization be managed in a manner that is consistent with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. In order to uphold the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, the Investment Management Team follows guidelines and is restricted from investing in companies that:
- Participate in abortion
- Manufacture contraceptives
- Engage in cloning and embryonic stem-cell research
- Provide direct funding to Planned Parenthood
- Derive a majority of revenue from gaming or pornography
We generally avoid companies that publicly advocate non-Catholic initiatives.
We remain consistent with the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church.
We provide financial solutions to Roman Catholic Institutions.
The Investment Management Team works diligently using available resources to ensure on a best efforts basis that members' funds are managed within the guidelines.
In addition to restricting certain investments, our Catholic faith guides our team to provide financing solutions to various Roman Catholic institutions. For more than 30 years, Catholic Order of Foresters (COF) has provided flexible financing terms for diocese, parishes, schools, and religious orders. In many cases, the Catholic institution has exhausted all other options, and the financing from our organization has allowed for the continuation of its mission while offering a suitable investment opportunity for our members. Many long-standing relationships have been built within the Catholic community through this lending initiative.
Our Catholic faith will continue to guide COF's leadership and team as we strive to fulfill our mission as a Catholic fraternal benefit society.

Welcome to The Catholic Telegraph, the monthly magazine of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. We are one of the oldest newspapers in the United States, published continuously since 1831.
Currently 133,000 subscribers receive the magazine in their mailboxes each month, and this website is another way in which we hope to continue our mission of proclaiming the Good News of our Catholic faith. In 2019, along with www.thecatholictelegraph.com, new offerings of The Daily Divina and the Weekly Ember were introduced.
HISTORY
A scanned copy from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati Chancery Archives shows the first edition of The Catholic Telegraph from Oct. 22, 1831. The copy in the image was previously part of the Sisters of Charity archive.
A scanned copy from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati Chancery Archives shows the first edition of The Catholic Telegraph from Oct. 22, 1831. The copy in the image was previously part of the Sisters of Charity archive.
On Saturday, Oct. 22, 1831, The Catholic Telegraph came into being at the behest of Bishop Edward Fenwick, OP, bishop of the then-Diocese of Cincinnati. Bishop Fenwick’s 10-year-old diocese reached from Kentucky to northern Michigan, and he believed that a newspaper was needed to help him communicate with a far-flung flock that was often subjected to virulent anti-Catholic attack. His letters, sermons and reports were the primary focus of the early paper.
The Catholic Telegraph was the first Catholic newspaper founded west of the Allegheny Mountains. It should be the oldest continuously published Catholic newspaper in the United States, but for a brief period — during the cholera plague of autumn of 1832 that claimed among its many victims Bishop Fenwick — the paper’s first editor, Father Mullen, laid his pen down in order to minister to people in need, suspending publication for a short time. In historical circles, The Catholic Telegraph is lauded for its strong abolitionist positions before and during the Civil War. Throughout its long history, the paper has not been afraid to speak out against wars, civil rights abuses, human rights abuses, political wrongdoing and social ills. But as one Massachusetts priest, Father J.M. Finnotti, wrote in 1875 of The Catholic Telegraph, “Charity has had a powerful sway over its editorials.”
The paper has maintained The Catholic Telegraph name and the following motto since its founding: “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty, and in all things, charity.” We find this a most worthy motto to work by even 184 years later.
The newspaper’s influence was the subject of a 1943 book, The Editorial Opinion of The Catholic Telegraph of Cincinnati on Contemporary Affairs and Politics, 1871-1921. It has been used widely for reference in other historical works and dissertations.
In 1937, the newspaper became known as The Catholic Telegraph Register, published by the Register chain of Catholic newspapers based in Denver. Since 1961 it has been under the management of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and is known simply as The Catholic Telegraph.
In 2009, the newspaper launched TheCatholicTelegraph.com website.
In September of 2011 The Catholic Telegraph became a monthly publication.
In November of 2015, the website was overhauled with a new format, color scheme and logo, as well as functionality for reading on mobile devices.
In June of 2020, the history newspaper became The Catholic Telegraph Magazine.
The monthly magazine is read in nearly 145,000 homes throughout the archdiocese. By June 2020 , TheCatholicTelegraph.com was averaging 2,500 users per day and 4,300 page views per day.
Currently 133,000 subscribers receive the magazine in their mailboxes each month, and this website is another way in which we hope to continue our mission of proclaiming the Good News of our Catholic faith. In 2019, along with www.thecatholictelegraph.com, new offerings of The Daily Divina and the Weekly Ember were introduced.

On Saturday, Oct. 22, 1831, The Catholic Telegraph came into being at the behest of Bishop Edward Fenwick, OP, bishop of the then-Diocese of Cincinnati. Bishop Fenwick’s 10-year-old diocese reached from Kentucky to northern Michigan, and he believed that a newspaper was needed to help him communicate with a far-flung flock that was often subjected to virulent anti-Catholic attack. His letters, sermons and reports were the primary focus of the early paper.
The Catholic Telegraph was the first Catholic newspaper founded west of the Allegheny Mountains. It should be the oldest continuously published Catholic newspaper in the United States, but for a brief period — during the cholera plague of autumn of 1832 that claimed among its many victims Bishop Fenwick — the paper’s first editor, Father Mullen, laid his pen down in order to minister to people in need, suspending publication for a short time.

- A 25 year veteran of Wall Street teaches others how to flip stocks for quick profits
Today a chorus of “experts” claim to have the best way to use Wall Street for daily profits but few post their performance for the world to see.
I discovered more than 25 years ago the best way to make money (and a lot of it) was to limit the amount of time my money remained in the market. Over time that system was perfected so that now my average hold time for a stock is 20 minutes and that reduces my overall risk to the stock market.
Less time and bigger profits!
During March of 2020 I used a $27,000 portfolio and generated $41,320 in profits using 89 stocks and did so by limiting the amount of time the money remains in the market. I discovered more than 25 years ago my profit potential is greatly enhanced if I reduce the amount of time my money is in the market and is exposed to risk. On average, we buy and sell a stock within twenty minutes.
Decades of Documented Profits:
In May of 2003 this program began with $2,100 placed into an Ameritrade online account and over the following eight months more than $34,000 was generated. During the banking crisis of 2008 a $25,000 portfolio was used to generate $91,555 in just 90 days. The following year nearly $200,000 was generated using the same $25,000 portfolio, flipping stocks for quick gains and in the 4Q of 2018 we saw a 55.2% increase as we flipped 109 stocks for quick gains. Regardless of which way the market is moving (up, down or sideways), this system has created revenue decade after decade and serves as the most exciting, flexible and portable business opportunity going today!
It is important to recognize that taking on Wall Street without a proven system can result in serious financial loss and Day Trade Fun strongly encourages a review of the Day Trading advisory issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
