The Buffalo Jewish Review is marking its 50th anniversary and its editors and publishers, Ida and Elias Rex Jacobs, were honored here tonight. The couple received the Israel Freedom Medal at the local Israel Bond Organization’s sixth annual dinner. The Buffalo Jewish Review, an English-Jewish weekly, was founded in 1920. Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs were awarded the medal “in recognition of their devotion and dedication to their community, and of their identification with all causes affecting the welfare of the Jewish people.”
