When you support the Federation's Campaign for Jewish Needs, you support 15 local beneficiary agencies that provide necessary services and support to our Cleveland Jewish community.

Nearly 1,000 volunteers made telephone calls for 10 hours on Sept. 22 for the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s Campaign for Jewish Needs’ Super Sunday.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland announced that Beth Wain Brandon is the 2019 recipient of the Gries Family Award in recognition of her lasting impact on Cleveland’s Jewish and general communities. The Gries awardee each year is someone who has demonstrated extensive top leadership in Federation and other local Jewish organization activities, as well as significant leadership in Greater Cleveland’s general community. Brandon, a dedicated community volunteer, was presented the award at the Jewish Federation of Cleveland Board of Trustees meeting on September 23.

As congregants prepare to engage in perhaps the most introspective time of the year, those charged with safeguarding synagogues are preparing to do so in light of a “new normal.”

We would like to invite you to visit Israel. With those words, written on a letter from the Jewish Federation of Cleveland, a completely unexpected journey began.

Shoshana Jacobs views being co-chair of Super Sunday on Sept. 22 as an opportunity to give back to a web of agencies and institutions that support her family in different ways.

As chair of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s 2020 Campaign for Jewish Needs, attorney Jeff Wild hopes to raise the bar even higher.

Our Super Sunday Co-Chairs share why Super Sunday is for our entire community – from young families, to volunteers, and everyone in between!

This summer my husband and I had the privilege to attend a Jewish Federation of Cleveland Mission to St. Petersburg, Russia and Israel. I am a native Clevelander and my husband is from Dayton. As empty nesters we recently moved to Cleveland from Dayton for work and be closer to family.
