A group of Cleveland women were in Israel with other women from Chicago, Indianapolis, and Milwaukee on the Women Partners for Peace mission.

A perfect way to kick off the summer! Thank you to the 300+ Jewish Cleveland young adults who joined us for the social event of the season: the 10th Annual Summer Soirée.

At age 21, Albert Ratner experienced the birth of Israel in 1948. 70 years later, he continues to support and love what Israel is and what it stands for. We had the honor to spend time with the Federation Life Trustee to hear his thoughts on Israel today and the beginning of the Jewish state.

The cause that drove Judi Kovach, co-founder and chair of the Cleveland Kids’ Book Bank, to embrace the value of tikkun olam is children’s access to books, however she said others should work to find a cause that inspires them toward that same Jewish value.

To some, the sight of a cemetery invokes fear, and symbolizes death, but not for everyone in the EcoVillage neighborhood, near Fir Street Cemetery on Cleveland's west side.

Giving of yourself – it’s one of the biggest mitzvah’s you can do. Volunteers give of their time, some for longer periods, some are ‘Done in a Day.’

We are sorry to report the death of Dr. Leatrice Rabinsky (z”l), former Federation Board member.

We wish all of our Onward Israel Cleveland participants a safe, exciting, and meaningful summer, as they immerse themselves in Israeli culture and make Cleveland friendships for a lifetime.
