Jewish in Lafayette: How the Heymanns, Levys and Falks and others sparked city's growth

by Adam Daigle | Acadiana business editor​ ​ ​

Good morning, Acadiana business news readers. Let's get right to the headlines to start off your week

Interesting read from over the weekend: Jews make up one of the smallest religious communities in Lafayette, but their history includes some of the most prominent businessmen and philanthropists since the city’s founding. 

Today, the legacy of the Heymanns, Levys, Falks, Bendels and others has produced a business and civic environment that continues to attract professionals from across the world. When a Jewish family moves to town, they find a small but active community that supports one another and welcomes anyone wanting to learn more about Judaism.

Check out the story here. 

Thanks for reading and have a great day.
