We at the Jewish Federation of Cleveland were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Judge Raymond Pianka.

A meaningful way to start the day! The room was buzzing with energy and excitement as Jewish Clevelanders filled the room on Sunday morning for the IMPACT! Volunteer Showcase, a highly anticipated volunteer fair for adults ages 50 and over.

Do you know an "unsung Jewish heroine" who deserves recognition for her volunteerism on behalf of the community? This is your opportunity to honor a dedicated volunteer!

Applications are now open for Onward Israel, a prestigious eight-week summer internship program in Tel Aviv for Jewish Cleveland young adults. The Jewish Federation of Cleveland, in partnership with Masa Israel Journey and The Jewish Agency for Israel, are now selecting college juniors, seniors and recent college graduates to live and intern in Tel Aviv from June 15 – August 10, 2017.

I was home in Cleveland for winter break; that’s when I made a decision that would change my life forever. I applied for Onward Israel, an internship program, supported by the Jewish Federation of Cleveland.

Shalom (Hello) to Itamar Meromi, Michal Katzman, Ziv Birenzwige, and Orel Regev.

Eating three meals a day is something many of us take for granted. Unfortunately, some of our Cleveland community is not so lucky.

According to Karen McHenry, program manager for homeless and missing youth at Bellefaire JCB, only 25 percent of missing children are reported missing.

Thank you to Senator Sherrod Brown, Senator Rob Portman, Congresswoman Marcia Fudge and Congressman David Joyce (together with 15 of the 16 Ohio members of the House of Representatives) who have all agreed to co-sponsor resolutions in Congress that express opposition to the decision of the United States to abstain last month from United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 2334 and calling for it to be repealed or significantly altered.
