| Abstract: | Congregation Oer Chodosh Anshe Sfard was an Orthodox Jewish synagogue founded in 1894 in Cleveland, Ohio by a group of Ukrainian Jewish immigrants. The founding rabbi was Benjamin Gittelsohn. In 1919 the congregation split into three congregations; Oer Chodosh Anshe Sfard, Ahavath Zion, and Ohel Jacob Anshe Sfard. In 1952, Congregation Oer Chodosh Anshe Sfard built a synagogue in University Heights, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. The congregation dissolved in the late 1990s. The collection consists of cemetery records, financial ledgers and statements, membership listings, and some administrative and program files. | ||
