We hope you’ll join us for our November events! This month, our whole community is invited to celebrate Shabbat for Good—a weekend of connection and purpose. You can also volunteer for the annual Campaign, explore our newest Roe Green Gallery exhibition at an open house, and lend a hand at the Cleveland Chesed Center.

For nearly three decades, the Jewish Federation of Cleveland has shared a remarkable partnership with the city of Beit Shean and the Valley of Springs region in Israel. What began in 1995 as a vision of connection and mutual growth has blossomed into a living bridge—one built on shared values, friendship, and a deep commitment to strengthening Jewish life in both communities.

Two newly-elected leaders of Beit Shean and Valley of Springs, Cleveland’s sister cities in Israel, visited Cleveland as part of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s Mayors’ Delegation, which took place Oct. 19 through Oct. 26.

Resilient. It’s a word that those who traveled to Israel as part of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s weeklong mission trip used to describe not only the people they interacted with, but the vibe of the country as a whole, even amidst the destruction and war.

With gratitude for all you’ve done since October 7, and a call to care for one another and our future.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland and Jews everywhere celebrate this long-awaited moment of relief and joy, standing in solidarity with the families and the people of Israel.

Our community came together to mark two years since the horrific attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023.

We hope to see you at our October events! This month, community members can volunteer for the 2026 Campaign for Jewish Needs, attend Women IN Philanthropy's annual campaign event, learn about current and future trends in Israeli music, and more.

Rosh Hashanah, then Yom Kippur. October 6th, and then the seventh. Renewal, then disruption. What a time to be around. A time to rethink and reflect.

Two Israelis shared their personal experiences of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas-led surprise attack on Israel with more than 1,200 community members and dignitaries at the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s 10-7-23 Commemoration.
