| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | 1 | Title: | Warrensville Center Synagogue Records
| | | Creator: | Warrensville Center Synagogue | | | Dates: | 1925-1990 | | | Abstract: | The Warrensville Center Synagogue, an Orthodox Jewish congregation in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, was established in 1959 as a result of a merger between three smaller synagogues, the Tetiever Ahavath Achim Anshe Sfard Congregation, the Kinsman Jewish Center, and Congregation Nvai Zedek. In 1970, Sherith Jacob Israel, the Eddy Road Jewish Center-Memorial Synagogue joined Warrensville Center. This congregation was itself a merger of Sherith Jacob and Sherith Israel of Mount Pleasant congregations. In 1972, Shaker-Lee Congregation was absorbed by the Warrensville Center Synagogue. Shaker-Lee Congregation was the result of a previous merger of Ohel Jacob, Ohel Yavne, and Tifereth Israel (not to be confused with The Temple-Tifereth Israel, a Reform congregation) congregations. The collection consists of organizational documents, membership lists, newsletters, newspaper clippings, and program brochures. Included is the card file (1950-1989) of funerals of congregants maintained by Rabbi Jacob Muskin, leader of the Kinsman Jewish Center (1950-1959) and the Warrensville Center Synagogue (1959-1990). Also included is the Warrensville Center Synagogue membership card file (1959), arranged alphabetically by family name and coded to indicate the members' original congregational affiliation. | | | Call #: | MS 4758 | | | Extent: | 3.30 linear feet (6 containers) | | | Subjects: | Warrensville Center Synagogue (Cleveland Heights, Ohio). | Kinsman Jewish Center (Cleveland, Ohio). | Tetiever Ahavath Achim Anshe Sfard Congregation (Cleveland, Ohio). | Sherith Israel Congregation (Cleveland, Ohio). | Sherith Jacob Congregation (Cleveland, Ohio). | Nvai Zedek Congregation (Cleveland, Ohio). | Shaker-Lee Congregation (Shaker Heights, Ohio). | Orthodox Judaism -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Synagogues -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Organization and administration.

Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | 2 | Title: | Sherith Jacob Congregation Records
| | | Creator: | Sherith Jacob Congregation | | | Dates: | 1905-1971 | | | Abstract: | Sherith Jacob Congregation is an Orthodox Jewish congregation founded by Hungarian immigrants in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1899. Served by Rabbi Julius Klein from its founding until 1917, Sherith Jacob was without a rabbi until 1922, when Ormond Klein served the congregation until 1926. In 1928, Hugo H. Klein, whose maternal grandfather was Rabbi Julius Klein, became rabbi. The congregation was located at various sites in Cleveland until 1944, when it moved into a new building at Eddy Rd. and Arlington Ave. By the early 1960s, the congregation sold the Eddy Rd. building and rented facilities in the Cleveland Heights-South Euclid area. In 1962 it merged with Sherith Israel to become Sherith Jacob Israel. In 1970, it was absorbed into Kehillat Yaakov, Warrensville Center Synagogue. The collection consists of congregational correspondence, a constitution, legal documents, minutes of congregational meetings, financial statements, publications, and correspondence of Rabbi Hugo Klein. Of particular note are letters documenting Rabbi Klein's attempts to aid relatives fleeing Europe in the late 1930s and his involvement in a memorial book for Ungvar, Hungary, Jews killed in World War II. | | | Call #: | MS 4528 | | | Extent: | 0.80 linear feet (2 containers) | | | Subjects: | Klein, Hugo H., 1903-1974. | Sherith Jacob Congregation (Cleveland, Ohio). | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Synagogues -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Organization and administration. | Jews, Hungarian -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Orthodox Judaism -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
