The Jewish Federation of Cleveland raised $1,396,626 in its annual Super Sunday fundraising event Oct. 10.

Twice a week, Katie, a Holocaust survivor, has meals delivered to her by a volunteer through Jewish Family Service Association (JFSA), a Federation beneficiary agency. Katie is one of hundreds of people every week in our community who receive hot meals through JFSA. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, JFSA staffers stepped up to meet the rapidly increasing demand. And once community members could resume delivery duties, a new, younger crop of volunteers emerged. "I can't stand up or walk as much as I used to be able to," Katie said. "So, I really appreciate having the meals come to me. But I enjoy the people who deliver it even more; they're such lovely, wonderful people."

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland is collecting essential and necessary items to be distributed for the Afghan community who have recently relocated to Cleveland.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland was selected to participate in the 2021 LIFE & LEGACY initiative, a national Jewish legacy giving program run by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland will host its annual and largest fundraiser of the year, “Super Sunday,” both virtually and in-person from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 10.

Dozens of Clevelanders remembered the Holocaust through speakers, candle lightings and memorial prayers during the annual Kol Israel fall memorial at Zion Memorial Park in Bedford Heights Sept. 12.

Our community was joined by Dr. Arthur Lavin, pediatrician, and Dr. Suzanne Schneps, clinical psychologist, to hear the latest information on COVID-19 and mental health strategies for families with young children.

We hope to see you at our upcoming events! During the month of September, we will enjoy cocktails and conversation in the Sukkah and hear about what it means to be Jewish in sports from Koby Altman, General Manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

At a time when antisemitism continues to reach all-time high levels across the country, JFC Security, LLC and area law enforcement have devised security plans intended to provide appropriate security so that community members can enjoy the High Holy Days safely.
