1Title:  Masada, Young Men's Zionist Organization of America, Cleveland Central Chapter Records, Series II     
 Creator:  Masada, Young Men's Zionist Organization of America, Cleveland Central Chapter 
 Dates:  1928-1994 
 Abstract:  Masada, Young Men's Zionist Organization of America, Cleveland Central Chapter, grew out of the Zionist Brotherhood, a group founded in 1928 by young Jewish men in Cleveland, Ohio. The Brotherhood's purpose was twofold; to interest young men in Zionism, and to encourage and enhance Jewish culture in America. The first president was J. Martin Kohn. Other presidents included Joseph M. Papo, Bernard Gutow, and Myron S. Stanford. The Brotherhood was affiliated with the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA). In 1929, the group assumed the name Masada, and in 1930, the ZOA recognized Masada as part of its movement and supported the formation of chapters throughout the country. In 1939, the organization in Cleveland was renamed Migdal Zion, continuing until 1957. The collection consists of constitutions, correspondence, minutes, newsletters, reports, newspaper clippings, and brochures. There is documentation of the original Zionist Brotherhood, general Masada correspondence, and the correspondence of two of its presidents, Joseph Papo and Bernard Gutow. Joseph Papo's personal correspondence concerns Masada and his work in the Sephardic Jewish community.
