| | Manuscript Collection | Save | | 1 | Title: | Numbers 2000 Records
| | | | Creator: | Numbers 2000 | | | | Dates: | 1995-1997 | | | | Abstract: | Numbers 2000 was a Jewish family history project created by Melitz, a Jewish-Zionist educational organization in Israel. The Jewish Education Center of Cleveland (JECC) implemented the program in the Cleveland, Ohio, area in 1993. Numbers 2000 was initially implemented in five congregational schools, and then grew to eight schools the following year. The program was designed to interest students in their Jewish heritage both in and out of the classroom. Projects included finding old family photographs and documents, interviewing relatives, and developing family trees. For one project, students brought a photograph, document, or heirloom to the Western Reserve Historical Society to be photographed. These photographs were developed into slides, with the intention that the slides would become an educational resource for future generations of Cleveland Jews. The collection consists of a slide catalogue, permission slips, and slide document information sheets, which describe the item each child brought to the Western Reserve Historical Society to be photographed. The congregational schools represented in this collection are Bethaynu, B'nai Jeshurun, Fairmount Temple, Park Synagogue, Solomon Schechter Day School, and Temple Emanu El. | | | | Call #: | MS 5121 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Jewish Education Center of Cleveland. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Genealogy. | Jews -- Education -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jewish day schools -- Study and teaching (Secondary) -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Education -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jewish families -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History. | Genealogy -- Study and teaching (Secondary) | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Genealogy.

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 3 | Title: | Laura and Alvin Siegal College of Judaic Studies Records
| | | | Creator: | Laura and Alvin Siegal College of Judaic Studies | | | | Dates: | 1936-2005 | | | | Abstract: | The Cleveland College of Jewish Studies was a non-denominational institution of higher Jewish learning supported by the Jewish community of Cleveland, Ohio. Accredited by the state of Ohio, degree programs in Judaic studies are offered, as are lifelong learning programs on Jewish topics for adults. In 1947, two Cleveland institutions founded in the 1920s, the Jewish Teachers Institute and the Beth Midrash L'Morim (Hebrew Teacher Training School), merged to form the Cleveland Institute of Jewish Studies, under the auspices of the Bureau of Jewish Education. In 1952, the Cleveland Institute of Jewish Studies became an independent agency. Through the initiative of Rebecca Aronson Brickner, the institute became known as the Cleveland College of Jewish Studies in 1963. It shared space with the Bureau of Jewish Education in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, before occupying its own building in Beachwood, Ohio. In 2002, the Cleveland College of Jewish Studies underwent another name change. To honor benefactors Laura and Alvin Siegal, the College was renamed the Laura and Alvin Siegal College of Judaic Studies. The collection consists of meeting minutes, office files, accreditation documents, course catalogs, evaluations, syllabi, scrapbooks, business documents, documents relating to Akiva High School, and the papers of several college employees. Administrators and faculty with papers included in this collection are former president David S. Ariel, former dean Lifsa Schacter, and many other educators employed throughout the years. | | | | Call #: | MS 5126 | | | | Extent: | 13.20 linear feet (13 containers and 1 oversize volume) | | | | Subjects: | Siegal, Laura. | Siegal, Alvin. | Ariel, David S. | Schacter, Lifsa. | Laura and Alvin Siegal College of Judaic Studies. | Akiva High School (Cleveland, Ohio) | Jews -- Education -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Judaism -- Study and teaching -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Adult education -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jewish religious education of adults -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Universities and colleges -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Universities and colleges -- Accreditation -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Schools -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Education -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
