| | | | Creator: | Gift of Stanley Schachter | | | | Dates: | 1956-2014 | | | | Abstract: | Stanley Joshua Schachter was born on May 27, 1929 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After serving for 15-years as vice chancellor at The Jewish Theological Seminary, he moved to Chicago where he began his rabbinical career. Schachter and his wife Lifsa moved to Cleveland in the 1980s when Schachter was offered the position of senior rabbi at B'nai Jeshurun. The leadership at B'nai Jeshurun worked closely with Schachter during the synagogue's historic move to the Pepper Pike facility. From 1987 to 2002, Schachter served as the synagogue's spiritual leader, and was rabbi emeritus until his retirement in 2015. Following his retirement, Schachter continued to teach at the Siegal College of Judaic Studies and worked as Jewish chaplain at The Cleveland Clinic. In 2007, his book The Book of Laughter and Torah was published, which describes the relationship between Jewish humor and Jewish religious teachings. The Stanley J. Schachter Papers collection consists of articles, notes, sermons, and speeches. | | | | Call #: | MS 5454 | | | | Extent: | 3.8 linear feet (5 boxes) | | | | Subjects: | Parashiyot ha-shavua | Schachter, Stanley J. | Rabbis -- Ohio -- Cleveland | B’nai Jeshurun (Cleveland Heights, Ohio) | Conservative Judaism -- Ohio -- Cleveland

| | | | Creator: | Congregation Shaarey Tikvah | | | | Dates: | 1928-2021 | | | | Abstract: | Shaarey Tikvah Congregation was founded in 1940 in Cleveland, Ohio, by a group of German Jewish refugees. In its first ten years, the congregation met in four different buildings in Cleveland. In 1950, the congregation purchased the Heights Presbyterian Church in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and changed its name to Mayfield Temple. In 1970, the congregation merged with Hillcrest Synagogue B'nai Israel and moved to its building in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. The merged congregation was called Mayfield Hillcrest Synagogue, and had the Hebrew name Shaarey Tikvah - B'nai Israel. In 1986, the congregation moved to Beachwood, Ohio. It became the first conservative congregation in Beachwood and changed its name back to Shaarey Tikvah, which means "gates of hope." Shaarey Tikvah was associated with the Conservative movement in 1957. Rabbis who served the congregation were Hans Zucker, 1940-1942; Manfred Strauss, 1942-1946; Enoch H. Kronheim, 1946-1957; Jacob Shtull, 1958-1992; Gary Robuck, 1992-2003; Edward C. Bernstein, 2003-2011, David Kosak, 2011-2015, and Eddie Sukol (in an interim capacity). Rabbi Scott Roland is the current rabbi in 2022; he has served since 2016. The collection consists of albums, articles, blueprints, bulletins, cemetery certificates, correspondence, directories, flyers, membership lists, minutes, pamphlets, programs, reports, and speech texts. | | | | Call #: | MS 5505 | | | | Extent: | 11.3 linear feet (14 containers, including one Oversized Container, and 1 Oversized Folder) | | | | Subjects: | Congregation Shaarey Tikvay (Beachwood, Ohio) | Shaarey Tikvah Congregation (Cleveland, Ohio) | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Synagogues -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Conservative Judaism -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Jews, German -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Refugees, Jewish -- Ohio -- Cleveland
