   Virtual History of Cleveland's Jewish Organizations

Help
 
For an organization to speak of its history is to honor the past and to acknowledge the lay and professional leaders who built it and helped it evolve to meet the challenges of changing times.

How do Cleveland's Jewish organizations tell of their history on their websites?

(For a brief look at how Cleveland's major cultural institutions do this, click here.)

This table will help you find the history content on many Jewish organization websites. Click on the name of the organization to visit its website. To visit its History page, click on the "history" link, if there is one. Use your "back" key to return to this page.

Notes:

(a) Though it ends in 2002, Montefiore's page "120 years and counting" is a long and well-illustrated chronology since 1882 and a model for others.

(b) We regard Federation's History page as the best page available on the history of our community. But only six of its 172 lines tell us about Federation's own history - the more than 100 years of growth and change that have made it what many say is our nation's leading Jewish Community Federation.
