As we commemorate this historic centennial milestone marking the passage of the 19th Amendment, it seems both timely and fitting that we take this opportunity to inaugurate a page that profiles Cleveland’s Jewish women and the changing roles of women in Jewish life. Throughout generations, their concerted and devoted efforts in a myriad of endeavors have changed the landscape of Jewish and community life – locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. Their stories resonate with unique talent, faith, determination, resilience, and devotion.
