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). The collection consists of individual and group portraits and views. Of note is a portrait of Rabbi Jacob Muskin and interior and exterior views of the congregation. http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/PG514.xml Wed, 01 Jan 2014 12:00:00 GMT http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/PG186.xml The exhibit, "Heritage: Jewish Life in Cleveland, 1839-1978," commemorated the 75th anniversary of the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland, Ohio, and was mounted at the Western Reserve Historical Society in 1978.
