| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 28 | Title: | Heights Benevolent and Social Union Records
| | | | Creator: | Heights Benevolent and Social Union | | | | Dates: | 1883-1981 | | | | Abstract: | The Heights Benevolent and Social Union (HBSU) is the oldest existing Jewish benevolent society in Cleveland, Ohio. It was organized on April 16, 1881, as the Hungarian Benevolent and Social Union and received its state charter two years later. The organization was established to aid its members in case of illness or death, to assist non-members in "unfortunate circumstances," and to cultivate friendly and social relations among its members. It was formed by twenty-four Hungarian Jews who gathered for their first meeting in the shoe store of Ben Shlesinger, the society's first president. In 1919, the Hungarian Benevolent and Social Union officially changed its name to the initials HBSU, indicating that membership was no longer based on Jewish national origin. In the late 1960s, the organization adopted the name Heights Benevolent and Social Union for publicity uses. By 1885, the organization had over 100 members and membership subsequently increased to 763 in 1916. During the early 1980s, membership was approximately 500. From its creation, the HBSU provided typical benevolent and aid society assistance, including partial payment of hospital bills, a weekly sick benefit, death benefits for members and their families, and visits to sick members. The organization has also expended a large portion of its annual budget for charitable donations both locally and in the national and international arenas. Recipients have included persecuted Romanian Jews, World War I refugees, and the Red Cross Society for needy Italians. Additionally, HBSU has donated money to or subscribed to membership in Cleveland Jewish organizations such as the Hebrew Free Loan Association, Federation of Jewish Charities, Infant Orphans Mothers Society, and the Jewish Orthodox Home for the Aged. By the early 1900s, HBSU, while still a mutual aid society, was reaching out more to the community at large and participating in more social causes. The minutes indicate a strong support for the United States in both world wars, and a growing political awareness. In 1896, a delegation from HBSU met with Governor McKinley, then a presidential candidate, at his home in Canton as part of McKinley's "Front Porch Campaign." The primary function of HBSU by the second half of the twentieth century was as a social outlet for its members. The organization sponsors picnics, dinners, balls, lectures, and other special programs. In 1953, a women's auxiliary was created. The HBSU has never had its own meeting hall, and over the years has held meetings in many locations, including the Gesangverein Hall, Knights of Pythias Temple Hall, B'nai B'rith Building, Gates of Hope Synagogue, Warrensville Center Synagogue, and Congregation B'nai Jeshurun's synagogue, among others. During the early 1980s, the HBSU officially incorporated as a fraternal organization. Two lodges were established, one in Florida comprised of Clevelanders who moved to the south, and one in Cleveland. The Cleveland lodge also serves as the Grand Lodge of the HBSU. The collection consists of minutes, bulletins, articles of incorporation, constitution, by-laws, membership lists, programs, historical material and newspaper clippings about individual members, biographical material on Judge Joseph Block, a reminiscence of a meeting with presidential candidate William McKinley, biographies of past HBSU presidents, and lists of officers and members of the Ladies' Auxiliary (1953-1960). | | | | Call #: | MS 3951 | | | | Extent: | 1.00 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Heights Benevolent and Social Union (Cleveland, Ohio) | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Friendly societies -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jews, Hungarian -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Hungarian Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities. | Charities -- Ohio -- Cleveland.

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 29 | Title: | Workmen's Circle Records, Series IV
| | | | Creator: | Gift of Jack Greminger | | | | Dates: | 1927-2017 | | | | Abstract: | The Workmen's Circle, or Arbeiter Ring, is a secular Jewish fraternal organization founded to build a better world, foster cultural Jewishness, and offer friendships. Early on, the Circle was viewed as an organization of labor unionists, including Socialists, although there was no official connection. Members demonstrated for social security, unemployment compensation, child labor laws, workmen's compensation, and health security, and supported candidates who were in favor of these issues. The group also provided lectures, poetry readings, plays, shows, and concerts in Yiddish. Camp Vladek (called the Workmen's Circle Camp) in Rock Creek, Ohio was a summer resort for adults and a children's camp from 1950-1963, when it was sold and the proceeds were used to build a Workmen's Circle Educational Center at 1980 Green Road in 1964. The I. L. Peretz Workmen's Circle School first opened in 1918 and became a center for adult Yiddish classes and Yiddish cultural programming. Since the Holocaust, the Circle's emphasis has shifted to the preservation, promotion, and perpetuation of Yiddish language and culture. In 1995 there were 3 branches in Cleveland and 1 in Akron; membership totaled approximately 1,200. The Workmen's Circle Records, Series IV collection consists of agreements, applications, awards, booklets, budgets, bylaws, correspondence, a mortgage deed and plot plan for Camp Vladek, employee manual and forms, flyers, board meetings and minutes, music sheets, newsletters, newspaper clippings, a photograph, a poster, holiday programs, a school calendar, a sketch, a songbook, a syllabus, and a Yiddish textbook. | | | | Call #: | MS 5456 | | | | Extent: | 2.41 linear feet (3 boxes, including one oversized folder) | | | | Subjects: | Workmen’s Circle (U.S.) -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Camp Vladek (Rock Creek, Ohio) | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Social life and customs -- 20th century | Working class -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Friendly societies -- Ohio -- Cleveland

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 30 | Title: | Swiss Society Records
| | | | Creator: | Swiss Society | | | | Dates: | 1872-1970 | | | | Abstract: | The Swiss Society was created in 1872 as the Schweizerischen Unterstuetzungs Verein by a group of members from the Swiss male chorus, then known as the Schweizer Gesang Verein Gruetli Bund, in Cleveland, Ohio. A mutual aid society for those of Swiss descent, the Swiss Society provided not only insurance to members, but also sought to preserve and nurture the German-Swiss culture, language, and literature. In 1873, the Swiss Society affiliated itself as a branch society with the Gruetli Bund der Vereinigten Staaten von Nord Amerika, which later became the North American Swiss Alliance. In 1881, the Society reorganized as the Schweizer Verein von Cleveland, Ohio. In 1885, the Swiss Society in Cleveland was elected as the executive society for the North American Swiss Alliance. By 1942, the group officially adopted the English name of Swiss Society and was still in operation in 1994. The Swiss Ladies Aid Society was closely associated with the Swiss Society and was originally known as the Schweizer Frauen Unterstuetzungs Verein. It was founded in 1887 in order to support women who were Swiss born, of Swiss descent or married to a Swiss man, and to provide health insurance, comradery, and promote efforts to maintain the German-Swiss language. Eventually the Ladies Aid Society also became an affiliate of the North American Swiss Alliance. The collection consists of minutes, financial records, and member policies. The collection includes the records of the Swiss Ladies Aid Society. | | | | Call #: | MS 4683 | | | | Extent: | 6.60 linear feet (6 containers, 11 oversize volumes) | | | | Subjects: | Swiss Society (Cleveland, Ohio). | Swiss Ladies Aid Society (Cleveland, Ohio). | Swiss -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Swiss -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Swiss -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Genealogy. | Swiss Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Women -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies and clubs. | Friendly societies -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Clubs -- Ohio -- Cleveland.

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 34 | Title: | Workmen's Circle of Cleveland Records, Series II
| | | | Creator: | Workmen's Circle of Cleveland | | | | Dates: | 1939-2002 | | | | Abstract: | The Workmen's Circle of Cleveland (f. 1904) is a secular Jewish fraternal organization formed in the United States to perpetuate Yiddish language and culture, support and promote the liberal political agenda, offer both health and death benefits, and provide a meeting place for fellowship. Its Yiddish cultural programming includes lectures, readings, concerts, third Passover seders, and the I.L. Peretz Workmen's Circle School, a supplementary program for children. Branch 1030, one of a number of Cleveland, Ohio, branches, was the first English speaking branch and was founded in 1939. Following World War II and the Holocaust and the continuing acculturation into American life of the descendants of its Yiddish-speaking Jewish immigrant founders, the Workmen's Circle, in Cleveland and nationwide, has been experiencing significant and continuous loss of membership. The Workmen's Circle's group health plan and death benefits, both of which are available on a non-sectarian basis, are the major source of membership. These programs have had difficulty attracting members since the proliferation of health maintenance organizations and health insurance plans. The collection consists of correspondence, ledgers, membership lists, minutes, and newsletters relating to Branch 1030. Also in the collection are regional records, and national office constitutions, correspondence, and reports. | | | | Call #: | MS 4891 | | | | Extent: | 2.02 linear feet (2 containers and 2 oversize folders) | | | | Subjects: | Workmen's Circle (U.S.) -- Ohio -- Cleveland. -- Archives. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History -- 20th century. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History -- Sources. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Social life and customs -- 20th century. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Jews -- United States -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Archives. | Friendly societies -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Working class -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jewish religious schools -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- History -- Sources.
