| | | | Creator: | Cleveland College of Jewish Studies | | | | Dates: | 1927-2000 | | | | Abstract: | The Cleveland College of Jewish Studies is a non-denominational institution of higher Jewish learning supported by the Jewish community of Cleveland, Ohio. Accredited by the state of Ohio, degree programs in Judaic studies are offered, as are lifelong learning programs on Jewish topics for adults. In 1947, two Cleveland institutions founded in the 1920s, the Jewish Teachers Institute and the Beth Midrash L'Morim (Hebrew Teacher Training School), merged to form the Cleveland Institute of Jewish Studies, under the auspices of the Bureau of Jewish Education. In 1952, the Cleveland Institute of Jewish Studies became an independent agency. Through the initiative of Rebecca Aronson Brickner, the institute became known as the Cleveland College of Jewish Studies in 1963. It shared space with the Bureau of Jewish Education in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, before occupying its own building in Beachwood, Ohio. The collection consists of record books of the Cleveland Institute of Jewish Studies; yearbooks, newsletters, course offering catalogs, newspaper clippings, programs, and minutes of the Cleveland College of Jewish Studies; and reports, programs, and newspaper clippings about Jewish agencies in the Cleveland metropolitan area. | | | | Call #: | MS 4826 | | | | Extent: | 0.80 linear feet (2 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Cleveland College of Jewish Studies. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jewish religious education -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jews -- Education -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Judaism -- Study and teaching -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jewish religious education of adults -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Adult education -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Schools -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Universities and colleges -- Ohio -- Cleveland.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 3 | Title: | Temple Emanu El Records
| | | | Creator: | Temple Emanu El | | | | Dates: | 1937-1986 | | | | Abstract: | Temple Emanu El is a suburban Cleveland, Ohio, Reform synagogue founded in 1947, the third Reform congregation established in Cleveland. Recognizing that half of Cleveland's Jews were unaffiliated following World War II, the Union of American Hebrew Congregations asked Cleveland native Rabbi Alan S. Green to form a congregation specifically to attract the unaffiliated. Creating an atmosphere of participation in religious services, Emanu El had a membership of 500 families by the end of its second year. Rabbi Green oversaw the growth of the congregation to approximately 650 families. He was succeeded in 1977 by Rabbi Daniel A. Roberts. Emanu El's activities include a men's club, a sisterhood, a couple's club, several youth groups, and the operation of a religious school. The collection consists of constitutions, bylaws, minutes, financial reports, correspondence, memos, newspaper clippings, Rabbi Green's sermons, writings and files, religious school materials, and blueprints. Included in Rabbi Green's papers are several books on living the life of a Reform Jew, as well as materials reflecting his activity in the civil rights movement and draft resistance movement during the Vietnamese conflict. | | | | Call #: | MS 4254 | | | | Extent: | 46.21 linear feet (47 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Temple Emanu El (South Euclid, Ohio) -- Archives. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Synagogues -- Ohio -- South Euclid. | Reform Judaism. | Jewish religious education -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Civil rights movements -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Vietnamese Conflict, 1961-1975 -- Draft resisters. | Jewish sermons.

| | | | Creator: | Brith Emeth Temple | | | | Dates: | 1961-1986 | | | | Abstract: | Brith Emeth Temple was established in 1959 in the Greater Cleveland, Ohio, area. A need for a new Reform congregation was apparent when existing Reform congregations had reached membership capacity. Services were held at various sites until a permanent synagogue was built in 1967 at 27575 Shaker Boulevard in Pepper Pike, Ohio. It was designed by architect Edward Durell Stone. The Parents' and Teachers' Association began meeting in 1959, and oversaw the Religious School, produced a yearly calendar, and hosted annual programs. The Brith Emeth Sisterhood took on traditional programming responsibilities, and was a major fundraiser for the building fund. Brith Emeth disbanded in 1986, principally for financial reasons. Park Synagogue purchased the Shaker Boulevard building and all of Brith Emeth's assets. The collection consists of constitutions and bylaws, minutes, financial documents including ledgers and reports of financial secretaries and treasurers, planning calendars, programming documentation, memorabilia and newspaper clippings. A major strength of the collection is Series II: Brith Emeth Sisterhood, and Series III: Parents' and Teachers' Association records. | | | | Call #: | MS 4747 | | | | Extent: | 2.20 linear feet (3 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Brith Emeth Temple (Pepper Pike, Ohio) | Brith Emeth Temple (Pepper Pike, Ohio).
