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.

On Sunday, Cavs Coach David Blatt was scheduled to help chair a dinner for Israel Bonds, a brokerage firm that sells treasury bonds for the Israeli government.

You know every Jew in Cleveland, right? Eh, probably not. It might feel like you know everyone, but with Cleveland’s summer parties upon us, you can expand your social circle or even meet the love of your life.

So there I was, uncomfortably staring down a plate of cheez-it dusted tostadas with a garlic spinach remoulade and spicy mustard emulsion. Grandma’s brisket and matzah ball soup this was not.

We welcome the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s 2015 Summer Interns! Get to know the group of college students who will be spending their summer at the Federation.

As you all are aware, in the past two days heavy rain has contributed to wide-spread flooding in Houston. Inundating hundreds of homes in high-density Jewish neighborhoods, the situation is a nightmare for thousands of people who have been shut off from municipal services, highways and schools.

Inspired! Energized! Excited! This is how guests are feeling after visiting the Roe Green Gallery’s new exhibit One Hour a Day by famed Israeli artist Shai Azoulay.
