I grew up at the largest reform temple in North America, Temple Israel, in West Bloomfield, Michigan. As the great-granddaughter of a founding member, all of the major milestones in my life occurred there.

The Plain Dealer has featured “TOP WORKPLACES 2015” – a list of the best places to work in the Northeast Ohio region, and the Jewish Federation of Cleveland has been named to the list!

Many of Cleveland’s older Jewish cemeteries are located in areas where the Jewish community no longer lives and synagogues no longer exist. Without an organized effort, these cemeteries have fallen into disrepair and the Jewish Federation of Cleveland has stepped in to help. With unanimous Board approval, the 112 year old non-profit organization has launched a Cemetery Preservation Campaign with the goal of raising $3.5 million to honor the deceased.

The perfect night! Over 300 young Jewish Clevelanders joined together at Mayfield Sand Ridge Club for the social event of the season: the 7th Annual Summer Soirée.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland has been ranked by Crain’s Cleveland Business as the 4th largest non-profit organization in Northeast Ohio.

When I first came to work at the Jewish Federation of Cleveland more than 25 years ago, I was given a daunting task: managing the care and preservation of our community’s Jewish cemeteries. Even though I have lived in Cleveland my entire life, it was not until I began my work at the Federation that I heard others mentioning local cemeteries that I never knew about. I later realized that many of our older Jewish cemeteries depict the history and movement of our community.
