| | | | Creator: | Willeyville, Ohio | | | | Dates: | 1835-1846 | | | | Abstract: | Willeyville was an allotment in the southeast section of Ohio City, Ohio, purchased by John W. Willey (Cleveland's first mayor), James S. Clark and others for commercial development. The group also purchased land directly opposite this allotment in the Cleveland Flats area on the east side of the Cuyahoga River, and then built the Columbus Street bridge to connect the two sections of land. This thoroughfare diverted Cleveland-bound traffic that had previously traveled through the West Side Market of Ohio City directly to Cleveland via the new Willeyville area and Cleveland Centre, precipitating the Columbus Street "Bridge War" of 1836. The collection consists of a statement showing sale of lots in Willeyville, 1835-1836; certificates of tax sales, 1838-1844; and notices of tax delinquency, 1843-1846. | | | | Call #: | MS 1317 | | | | Extent: | 0.10 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Real property -- Ohio -- Ohio City (Cuyahoga County) | Willeyville (Ohio City, Cuyahoga County, Ohio) | Cleveland (Ohio) -- History -- Sources. | Ohio City (Cleveland, Ohio) -- History -- Sources.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 13 | Title: | Workmen's Circle of Cleveland Records, Series II
| | | | Creator: | Workmen's Circle of Cleveland | | | | Dates: | 1939-2002 | | | | Abstract: | The Workmen's Circle of Cleveland (f. 1904) is a secular Jewish fraternal organization formed in the United States to perpetuate Yiddish language and culture, support and promote the liberal political agenda, offer both health and death benefits, and provide a meeting place for fellowship. Its Yiddish cultural programming includes lectures, readings, concerts, third Passover seders, and the I.L. Peretz Workmen's Circle School, a supplementary program for children. Branch 1030, one of a number of Cleveland, Ohio, branches, was the first English speaking branch and was founded in 1939. Following World War II and the Holocaust and the continuing acculturation into American life of the descendants of its Yiddish-speaking Jewish immigrant founders, the Workmen's Circle, in Cleveland and nationwide, has been experiencing significant and continuous loss of membership. The Workmen's Circle's group health plan and death benefits, both of which are available on a non-sectarian basis, are the major source of membership. These programs have had difficulty attracting members since the proliferation of health maintenance organizations and health insurance plans. The collection consists of correspondence, ledgers, membership lists, minutes, and newsletters relating to Branch 1030. Also in the collection are regional records, and national office constitutions, correspondence, and reports. | | | | Call #: | MS 4891 | | | | Extent: | 2.02 linear feet (2 containers and 2 oversize folders) | | | | Subjects: | Workmen's Circle (U.S.) -- Ohio -- Cleveland. -- Archives. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History -- 20th century. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History -- Sources. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Social life and customs -- 20th century. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Archives. | Friendly societies -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Working class -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jewish religious schools -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- History -- Sources.

Native to Cleveland, Mintz was descended on his father's side from Polish Jewish immigrants of the 1850s and Prussian Jewish immigrants of the 1860s on his mother's side. Mintz was a picturesque, high-profile professional during his successful career. A number of his jobs involved major events of the era. He served as bodyguard to Carrie Nation, the anti-drinking crusader, when she spoke in Cleveland in 1901. That same year, Mintz escorted the immediate family of Leon Czolgosz, the assassin of President William McKinley, to Buffalo, New York, to visit him in the days immediately after the assassination.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 15 | Title: | Beth Am Congregation Records
| | | | Creator: | Beth Am Congregation | | | | Dates: | 1934-1999 | | | | Abstract: | Beth Am Congregation, a Conservative Jewish congregation in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, was founded in 1933 as the Community Temple by Rabbi Abraham Nowak and a group who belonged to B'nai Jeshurun Congregation (then known as Temple on the Heights). The founders wanted their new synagogue to be more welcoming to all Jews, regardless of their wealth or status. The congregation established administrative offices at 241 Euclid Avenue; services and school classes were held at Coventry School in Cleveland Heights. After meeting at several rented locations, the congregation purchased a large house on Washington Boulevard. By 1940, however, the need was seen for a permanent structure, and a building fund was established. In 1947 Beth Am purchased the Trinity Congregational Church at 3557 Washington Boulevard. The new rabbi, Jack J. Herman, was named the same year. The congregation continued to grow, and by 1956 had 600 families with 500 students in the religious school. A fire in 1957 destroyed much of the lower level of the building, including two Torahs and synagogue records; the congregation met on the campus of John Carroll University until repairs were effected. Rabbi Herman served the congregation until his death in 1969. Rabbi Michael Hecht was installed late in 1970. In 1971 the congregation dedicated a new religious school named for Rabbi Herman, constructed on land adjacent to the synagogue. From 1974 through the congregation's merger with B'nai Jeshurun in 1999, there were financial deficits that made it difficult for the congregation to sustain itself. The Jewish community was moving farther east, and membership decreased. A congregant offered land at the intersection of Cedar and Lander Roads in Mayfield Heights, provided that the membership could raise the monies necessary for a new building. In spite of a positive feasibility study, and plans unveiled by the architectural firm Finegold Alexander and Associates, the fundraising goals were not met and Beth Am sold its Washington Boulevard Building to the New Bible Fellowship Church and merged with B'nai Jeshurun Congregation in 1999. The collection consists of minutes, correspondence, financial reports, lists, newspaper clippings, and publications. | | | | Call #: | MS 4895 | | | | Extent: | 39.83 linear feet (43 containers and 3 oversize folders) | | | | Subjects: | Beth Am Congregation (Cleveland Heights, Ohio). -- Archives. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History -- 20th century. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History -- Sources. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Religious life -- 20th century. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Social life and customs -- 20th century. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Archives. | Conservative Judaism -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- 20th century. | Synagogues -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- 20th century. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- History -- Sources.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 20 | Title: | Beth Israel - The West Temple Records, Series II
| | | | Creator: | Beth Israel - The West Temple | | | | Dates: | 1954-2000 | | | | Abstract: | Beth Israel - The West Temple (f. 1954) is a Reform Jewish synagogue located in Cleveland, Ohio's west side. A noted feature of this congregation is its volunteerism. For the first forty-five years of its history, all posts and jobs, with the exception of rabbi, were staffed by volunteers. This included the principal, administrator, teachers, and aides of the religious school; the librarians, office managers and secretaries; youth group advisors; and interfaith and community education coordinators. Approximately one-third of the congregation made this commitment to volunteer several hours a week throughout the year. Another fifteen percent of the congregation volunteered periodically throughout the year serving as choir director, choir members, and music accompanist; worship leaders and cantors; bulletin editors; and building repair and maintenance workers. The collection consists of minutes, bulletins, correspondence, reports, handbooks, newspaper clippings, program scripts, speeches, and transcripts. | | | | Call #: | MS 4904 | | | | Extent: | 4.41 linear feet (5 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Beth Israel - The West Temple (Cleveland, Ohio) -- Archives | Prepare the Way Radio Broadcast | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History -- 20th century | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History -- Sources | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Religious life -- 20th century | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Social life and customs -- 20th century | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Archives | Jewish women -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Synagogues -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Organization and administration | Reform Judaism -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Cleveland (Ohio) -- History -- Sources
