The school, founded in 1983 as Bet Sefer Mizrachi of Cleveland, was renamed Fuchs Bet Sefer Mizrachi in 1994 in honor of benefactors Susan and Leonard Fuchs; in 1999 it was renamed Fuchs Mizrachi School. It was established by a group of Zionist Orthodox Jewish friends, all with young children. Its curriculum included political and religious Zionism, Orthodox Judaism, modern Hebrew, and secular studies. After 8 years of renting space at Taylor Road Synagogue and Taylor Academy in Cleveland Heights and at Northwood Elementary School in University Heights, the school purchased the former Northwood Elementary School in 1994. The collection consists of 75 color photographs and 42 color slides. The photographs show individual classes by year, and the slides portray daily and special activities during the school year. | | | | Call #: | PG 512 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Fuchs Mizrachi School (Cleveland, Ohio) -- Photograph collections. | Jewish day schools -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Schools -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Orthodox Judaism -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jews -- Education -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Zionism -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs.
