It was founded in 1882 as the Aged and Infirm Israelites Home, was renamed the Sir Moses Montefiore Kesher Home for Aged and Infirm Israelites in 1884, and, in 1923, Montefiore Home.

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 26 | Title: | Educational League Records
| | | | Creator: | Educational League | | | | Dates: | 1897-1966 | | | | Abstract: | The Educational League was initiated by members of B'nai B'rith, Baron de Hirsch Lodge of Cleveland, Ohio, in 1897, as an independent organization whose mission was to provide Jewish orphans with financial aid for higher education. Based in Cleveland and chartered in the State of Ohio, the League's operation covered twenty states in the central United States. Presidents of the League included Martin A. Marks, Dr. Samuel Wolfenstein, Rabbi Moses Gries, and Albert A. Benesch. It's original mission soon expanded to include any Jewish student in need. Money advanced was to be a repayable loan, rather than a grant. Beginning in the late 1920s, the League concentrated exclusively on assisting students from the Cleveland area, or out-ot-town students attending Cleveland area schools. Around the same time, the League joined with the Jewish Welfare Federation of Cleveland and the Cleveland Section, National Council of Jewish Women to coordinate the review and approval of loans. This alliance was known as the Joint Conference on Educational Fund Loans (ca. 1930-1945), and as the Joint Educational Loan Committee thereafter. The collection consists of correspondence, minutes, reports, and beneficiary files. The beneficiary files are arranged alphabetically by last name of beneficiary. | | | | Call #: | MS 4667 | | | | Extent: | 4.00 linear feet (6 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Educational League (Cleveland, Ohio). | Jewish Community Federation (Cleveland, Ohio) | National Council of Jewish Women.

| | | | Creator: | Jewish Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center of Cleveland | | | | Dates: | 1957-1978 | | | | Abstract: | The Jewish Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center of Cleveland, previously known as the Jewish Convalescent Hospital, was established in Cleveland, Ohio, through the combined resources of the Jewish Consumptive Relief Society (later known as the Jewish Chronic Relief Society) and the Bikur Cholim Sick Relief Society, and with the cooperation of the Jewish Welfare Federation of Cleveland and Mount Sinai Hospital. Founded in 1937, the nineteen bed facility was located at 18810 Harvard Rd., and met the needs of tubercular patients who were released from the Warrensville Sanatorium and the City Hospital. The hospital expanded in the 1950s, and with the decrease in tuberculosis, began to serve the chronically ill. In 1967, the name was changed to the Jewish Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center of Cleveland, reflecting new services provided. In 1979, the facility was sold to a proprietary nursing home operator. The collection consists of administrative records including annual reports, Board of Trustees rosters, constitutions, correspondence, and a patient care policy manual. | | | | Call #: | MS 4693 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Jewish Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center of Cleveland. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities. | Hospitals, Convalescent -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Rehabilitation centers -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Health facilities -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Tuberculosis -- Hospitals -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Chronically ill -- Institutional care -- Ohio -- Cleveland.

| | | | Creator: | Jewish National Fund of Cleveland, Ohio | | | | Dates: | 1946-1992 | | | | Abstract: | The Jewish National Fund, Cleveland, Ohio, office is one of numerous regional offices maintained throughout the United States by the national office of the Jewish National Fund, headquartered in New York City. The Jewish National Fund was founded in 1901 at the Fifth Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland, to purchase land in Israel. The Fund's major activities included planting and maintaining forests throughout Israel; building parks and outdoor recreational facilities; preparing land for new communities, industries, and agriculture; and developing irrigation systems, dams, and reservoirs. From ca. 1916-1960, the work of the Fund in Cleveland was informally organized and implemented by Jewish lay leadership under the auspices of the Cleveland Jewish National Fund Council. In 1960 The Jewish National Fund of Cleveland was formally established. It continues its fundraising efforts; including solicitation, honorary dinners, missions to Israel, and planned giving. The group also provides educational programming in the local Jewish day schools and religious schools. The collection consists of honorary luncheon and dinner programs; correspondence; Women's Division records consisting of programs, minutes, and rosters; tree certificates, and newspaper clippings. | | | | Call #: | MS 4724 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Jewish National Fund Cleveland office. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Fund raising -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Reforestation -- Israel. | Tree planting -- Israel.

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 40 | Title: | Heights Benevolent and Social Union Records, Series III
| | | | Creator: | Heights Benevolent and Social Union | | | | Dates: | 1881-2003 | | | | Abstract: | The Heights Benevolent and Social Union is the oldest existing Jewish benevolent society in Cleveland, Ohio. It was organized on April 16, 1881, as the Hungarian Benevolent and Social Union and received its state charter two years later. The organization was established to aid its members in case of illness or death, to assist non-members in "unfortunate circumstances," and to cultivate friendly and social relations among its members. It was formed by twenty-four Hungarian Jews who gathered for their first meeting in the shoe store of Ben Shlesinger, the society's first president. In 1919, the Hungarian Benevolent and Social Union officially changed its name to the initials HBSU, indicating that membership was no longer based on Jewish national origin. In the late 1960s, the organization adopted the name Heights Benevolent and Social Union for publicity uses. By 1885, the organization had over 100 members and membership subsequently increased to 763 in 1916. During the early 1980s, membership was approximately 500. From its creation, the HBSU provided typical benevolent and aid society assistance, including partial payment of hospital bills, a weekly sick benefit, death benefits for members and their families, and visits to sick members. The organization has also expended a large portion of its annual budget for charitable donations both locally and in the national and international arenas. Recipients have included persecuted Romanian Jews, World War I refugees, and the Red Cross Society for needy Italians. Additionally, HBSU has donated money to or subscribed to membership in Cleveland Jewish organizations such as the Hebrew Free Loan Association, Federation of Jewish Charities, Infant Orphans Mothers Society, and the Jewish Orthodox Home for the Aged. By the early 1900s, HBSU, while still a mutual aid society, was reaching out more to the community at large and participating in more social causes. The minutes indicate a strong support for the United States in both world wars, and a growing political awareness. In 1896, a delegation from HBSU met with Governor McKinley, then a presidential candidate, at his home in Canton as part of McKinley's "Front Porch Campaign." The primary function of HBSU by the second half of the twentieth century was as a social outlet for its members. The organization sponsors picnics, dinners, balls, lectures, and other special programs. In 1953, a women's auxiliary was created. The HBSU has never had its own meeting hall, and over the years has held meetings in many locations, including the Gesangverein Hall, Knights of Pythias Temple Hall, B'nai B'rith Building, Gates of Hope Synagogue, Warrensville Center Synagogue, and Congregation B'nai Jeshurun's synagogue, among others. During the early 1980s, the HBSU officially incorporated as a fraternal organization. Two lodges were established, one in Florida comprised of Clevelanders who moved to the south, and one in Cleveland. The Cleveland lodge also serves as the Grand Lodge of the HBSU. The collection consists of booklets, bulletins, bylaws, flyers, ledger, lists, proclamations, programs and scrapbooks. | | | | Call #: | MS 5115 | | | | Extent: | 1.60 linear feet (3 containers and 1 oversize volume) | | | | Subjects: | Heights Benevolent and Social Union (Cleveland, Ohio) | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Fraternal organizations -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jews, Hungarian -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Hungarian Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities. | Charities -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
