21	Title:	Jewish Secular Community of Cleveland Records, Series II
	Creator:	Jewish Secular Community of Cleveland
	Dates:	1967-2012
	Abstract:	The Jewish Secular Community of Cleveland, Ohio (f. 1967), is a group whose members share with other Jews a common history, literature, culture, and tradition without necessarily having a belief in God. The group's founding members were drawn together by their desire to offer their children a Jewish education outside of the existing religious institutions and their earliest efforts were focused upon the development of a school. By the mid-1970s, however, adult education, holiday observances, and life cycle ceremonies had been introduced and a social action committee had been formed. The collection consists of board meeting minutes, newsletters, membership rosters, curriculums, and programs from events the organization has hosted, as well as a collection of the papers of Mark Weber, one of the group's most active members. This collection is of value to researchers studying ethnic and religious groups and institutions in the United States in general, and in Cleveland, Ohio, in particular. Of interest are minutes from the Jewish Secular Community board meetings, and newsletters, all of which discuss the current status of the organization and express thoughts about the future of the organization as well as events the Community celebrated. Also included are curricula for the group's school, illustrating the principles of secular humanism. Those interested in secular Jewish culture in Cleveland and the formation and expression of Jewish identity during the twentieth century will find this collection of value.

	Creator:	Workmen's Circle of Cleveland
	Dates:	1916-2004
	Abstract:	The Workmen's Circle of Cleveland, Ohio (f. 1904) is a secular Jewish fraternal organization formed in the United States to perpetuate Yiddish language and culture, support and promote a liberal political agenda, offer both health and death benefits, and provide a meeting place for fellowship. Its Yiddish cultural programming includes lectures, readings, concerts, third Passover Seders, and the I.L. Peretz Workmen's Circle School, a supplementary program for children. Following World War II and the Holocaust and the continuing acculturation into American life of the descendants of its Yiddish-speaking Jewish immigrant founders, the Workmen's Circle, in Cleveland and nationwide, has been experiencing significant and continuous loss of membership. The Workmen's Circle's group health plan and death benefits, both of which are available on a non-sectarian basis, are the major source of membership. The collection consists of correspondence, ledgers, membership lists, minutes, and programs.

28	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.
