"A people's memory is history; and as a man without a memory, so
 a people without a history cannot grow wiser, better."  I. L. Peretz

Cleveland is one of our nation's leading Jewish communities, yet there is so little of its nearly 170-year history on the web. Many of our oldest, finest institutions say little (or nothing) about how they grew and adapted to changed conditions. Most give no recognition to the lay and professional leaders whose vision and commitment shaped them into what they are today. The very few history pages not about an organization's history are not easily found.

Our goal is to present more Cleveland Jewish history to more persons by:

  • Developing hyperlinked pages to make it easier to find online Cleveland Jewish history.

  • Increasing our web-based history with pages created on this site by similarly interested persons.

  • By encouraging organizations to present their history on the web, on this site or their own.

Established in December 2006, this website is a work in progress.
Your comments and participation are welcome.

About the Webkeeper

I came to Cleveland as a young man, from the east and MIT. After three careers (industrial engineer - systems analyst, professor of information systems, and software entrepreneur), I'm now a website developer with more than 20 sites, many on Jewish themes including my congregation, a vanished shtetl, and a Jewish magazine, for other good causes such as Shaker Square,  plus commercial sites such as a hard money lender.
