1Title:  Jewish Family Service Association of Cleveland Records, Series III     
 Creator:  Jewish Family Service Association 
 Dates:  1980-1992 
 Abstract:  The Jewish Family Service Association of Cleveland, Ohio, was established in 1875 as the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. It merged with the Hebrew Relief Organization in 1883 to form the Hebrew Relief Association. It was renamed the Jewish Social Service Bureau in 1922. The Bureau affiliated with the Western Reserve University School of Applied Social Sciences and helped train students for field placement. In 1943, the Bureau changed its name to the Jewish Family Service Association. The organization played a large role in the resettlement of Soviet Jews who came to Cleveland during the 1970s-1990s. Between 1989-1992, the Jewish Family Service Association assisted in the resettlement of 2,000 Soviet Jewish immigrants. The collection consists of materials relating to the organization's Soviet Jewish resettlement efforts.
