| | | | Creator: | Porath, Israel | | | | Dates: | 1910-1974 | | | | Abstract: | Rabbi Israel Porath was a leader among Cleveland, Ohio's Orthodox Jewish rabbis for nearly five decades. He served as rabbi of Oheb Zedek congregation for fourteen years. He next served six years as rabbi of another Cleveland congregation, Nvai Zedek. In 1945 he accepted the position of dean of the Salanter Yeshiva in New York City, but returned with a year to Cleveland to become rabbi of the Heights Jewish Center, where he remained until his retirement in 1972. Porath was the founder and chairman of the Orthodox Rabbinical Council and served on the boards of the Bureau of Jewish Education, the Jewish Welfare Federation, the Jewish Community Council, and the B'nai B'rith. His major scholarly contribution was Mavo Ha-Talmud (Outline of the Talmud), published in seven volumes from 1941-1960. The collection consists of correspondence, newspaper clippings, personal records such as a naturalization application and a Brazilian visa, talks and sermons, as well as copyrights and notes for Mavo Ha-Talmud. The collection also includes correspondence, newspaper clippings, and sermons of Samuel Isaac Porath, Israel Porath's eldest son. | | | | Call #: | MS 4753 | | | | Extent: | 1.20 linear feet (2 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Porath, Israel, d. 1974. | Nvai Zedek Congregation (Cleveland, Ohio). | Oheb Zedek Congregation (Cleveland, Ohio). | Heights Jewish Center (University Heights, Ohio). | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Rabbis -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Orthodox Judaism -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jewish sermons -- Ohio -- Cleveland.

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 3 | Title: | B'nai Jeshurun Congregation Records
| | | | Creator: | B'nai Jeshurun Congregation | | | | Dates: | 1891-1991 | | | | Abstract: | B'nai Jeshurun Congregation, one of the largest Conservative synagogues in the United States, was established in 1866 by Jewish Hungarian immigrants as an Orthodox synagogue in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1884, a vacated synagogue building on Eagle Street in Cleveland housed the congregation. Buildings on Scoville Avenue and East 55th Street were home to the congregation from 1906-1926, when the congregation moved to Mayfield and Lee Roads, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. In 1980 B'nai Jeshurun moved to Fairmount Boulevard, Pepper Pike, Ohio. A gradual shift from the Orthodox to Conservative movement began under the first rabbi, Sigmond Dreschler. Over the years, portions of the congregation broke away over the issue of liberalization of religious practices and formed new congregations, including Oheb Zedek in 1904 and Beth Am in 1933. Rabbi Rudolph M. Rosenthal served the then firmly Conservative congregation from 1933-1976. The collection consists of minutes, bulletins, correspondence, newspaper articles, membership lists, committee reports, and anniversary displays. | | | | Call #: | MS 4726 | | | | Extent: | 4.81 linear feet (8 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Rosenthal, Rudolph M.
