He served as rabbi of Oheb Zedek congregation for fourteen years. He next served six years as rabbi of another Cleveland congregation, Nvai Zedek.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 2 | Title: | Warrensville Center Synagogue Records
| | | | Creator: | Warrensville Center Synagogue | | | | Dates: | 1925-1990 | | | | Abstract: | The Warrensville Center Synagogue, an Orthodox Jewish congregation in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, was established in 1959 as a result of a merger between three smaller synagogues, the Tetiever Ahavath Achim Anshe Sfard Congregation, the Kinsman Jewish Center, and Congregation Nvai Zedek. In 1970, Sherith Jacob Israel, the Eddy Road Jewish Center-Memorial Synagogue joined Warrensville Center. This congregation was itself a merger of Sherith Jacob and Sherith Israel of Mount Pleasant congregations. In 1972, Shaker-Lee Congregation was absorbed by the Warrensville Center Synagogue. Shaker-Lee Congregation was the result of a previous merger of Ohel Jacob, Ohel Yavne, and Tifereth Israel (not to be confused with The Temple-Tifereth Israel, a Reform congregation) congregations. The collection consists of organizational documents, membership lists, newsletters, newspaper clippings, and program brochures. Included is the card file (1950-1989) of funerals of congregants maintained by Rabbi Jacob Muskin, leader of the Kinsman Jewish Center (1950-1959) and the Warrensville Center Synagogue (1959-1990). Also included is the Warrensville Center Synagogue membership card file (1959), arranged alphabetically by family name and coded to indicate the members' original congregational affiliation. | | | | Call #: | MS 4758 | | | | Extent: | 3.30 linear feet (6 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Warrensville Center Synagogue (Cleveland Heights, Ohio). | Kinsman Jewish Center (Cleveland, Ohio). | Tetiever Ahavath Achim Anshe Sfard Congregation (Cleveland, Ohio). | Sherith Israel Congregation (Cleveland, Ohio). | Sherith Jacob Congregation (Cleveland, Ohio). | Nvai Zedek Congregation (Cleveland, Ohio). | Shaker-Lee Congregation (Shaker Heights, Ohio). | Orthodox Judaism -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Synagogues -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Organization and administration.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 3 | Title: | Jacob Muskin Papers
| | | | Creator: | Muskin, Jacob | | | | Dates: | 1940-1990 | | | | Abstract: | Jacob Muskin (1920-1990) was a Cleveland, Ohio, rabbi affiliated with the Orthodox movement of Judaism. Born in Chicago, Muskin attended the Ner Israel Rabbinical College in Baltimore. After World War II, he was the associate national director of Va-ad Ha-Hatzalah (the rescue committee, in Hebrew), an organization that saved children and scholars from the Holocaust. He began his pulpit career in Cleveland as the rabbi of the Kinsman Jewish Center in 1950, where he established the first synagogue-sponsored nursery school in the city. In 1959 he helped to orchestrate the merger of Kinsman Jewish Center with other small Orthodox congregations to form Warrensville Center Synagogue in Cleveland Heights. He served as rabbi at Warrensville Center Synagogue until his death in 1990. Muskin was active in many local Jewish organizations. He served on the Kashruth Board, the chaplaincy committee, and the Central Fund for Traditional Institutions, all of the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland. He was on the board of directors and served on the educational committees of Yeshiva Adath B'nai Israel, the Telshe Yeshiva, and the Bureau of Jewish Education of Cleveland. As a member of the Merkaz Harabonim, the Orthodox Rabbinical Council of Cleveland, he served as chair for six years, often articulating the views of the Orthodox community on issues such as Kashruth, divorce, cemetery practices, holiday observances, and Zionism. The collection consists of correspondence, minutes, newspaper clippings, ledgers, lists, synagogue programs, and legal documents. | | | | Call #: | MS 4837 | | | | Extent: | 1.01 linear feet (1 container and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Muskin, Jacob, 1920-1990. -- Archives. | Kinsman Jewish Center (Cleveland, Ohio). | Nvai Zedek Congregation (Cleveland, Ohio) | Warrensville Center Synagogue (Cleveland Heights, Ohio). | Orthodox Rabbinical Council of Cleveland. | Jewish Community Federation (Cleveland, Ohio) | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History -- 20th century. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History -- Sources. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Religious life -- 20th century. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Archives. | Jews -- Dietary laws. | Orthodox Judaism -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- 20th century. | Rabbis -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- 20th century. | Synagogues -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- 20th century. | Jewish law. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- History -- Sources.
