The organization grew with community need, and was relocated to a campus in University Heights in 1938. The name of the organization changed to Orthodox Jewish Children's Home and merged with Bellefaire to become Bellefaire Jewish Children's Bureau. The Jewish Orphan Home Alumni Association (JOHAA) was founded in July, 1888 with open membership to all who had resided at the Orphan Home. The records, beginning in 1938, are a history of the founding and activities of the JOHAA. The collection consists of booklets, brochures, bulletins, a constitution, correspondence, a directory, Haggadah, a photo album, two black and white photographs, a program, a scrapbook, song sheets, and yearbooks. | | | | Call #: | MS 5418 | | | | Extent: | 0.90 linear feet (2 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Bellefaire Jewish Children's Home (Shaker Heights, Ohio) | Jewish orphanages -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jewish orphanages -- Ohio -- University Heights. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities. | Jewish Orphan Asylum (Cleveland, Ohio) | Jewish children -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jewish orphanages -- Ohio -- Shaker Heights. | Orphanages -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
