| | Photograph Collection | Save | | 1 | Title: | Cleveland Hebrew Schools Photographs
| | | | Creator: | Cleveland Hebrew Schools | | | | Dates: | 1912-1976 | | | | Abstract: | The Cleveland Hebrew Schools evolved from the Montefiore Free Hebrew School (later called the Talmud Torah) established in Cleveland, Ohio, ca. 1885. In 1905, another communal Hebrew school was founded by Joshua Flock and Aaron Garber. In 1907, the two schools combined, the name remaining the Talmud Torah. In 1913, the Talmud Torah received an Ohio charter and changed its name to the Cleveland Hebrew School and Institute, enrolling students in grades one through eight. Abraham Hayyim Friedland, an internationally known educator, headed the school from 1921-1939. In 1926, a high school was added, and a Parent Council was organized in 1930. Bernard Levitin served as superintendent from 1944-1970, a period of movement of Cleveland's Jewish population to the suburbs. A reorganization of the Cleveland Hebrew Schools took place during this period, with some Cleveland branches closing and new suburban schools opening. As the number of Jewish day schools and congregational classes grew, the Cleveland Hebrew Schools enrollment dropped and branches were further consolidated. In 1955, the Parent Council organized Camp Oneg, a Hebrew summer day camp, and Ganon Gil Nursery, a Hebrew school for preschool children. In 1967 Cleveland Hebrew High School merged into Akiva High School. The collection consists of individual portraits of some of the organization's leaders, such as A. H. Friedland, Bernard Levitin, and Rabbi Samuel Margolies. Group portraits and views include the Judea Ladies Auxiliary, student groups, Camp Oneg, Ganon Gil Nursery School, graduation classes, various Cleveland Hebrew School locations, and other school events and clubs. | | | | Call #: | PG 495 | | | | Extent: | 0.51 linear feet (2 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Cleveland Hebrew Schools -- Photograph collections. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jews -- Education -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish educators -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Schools -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish religious education -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish religious schools -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs.

| | | | Creator: | Fuchs Mizrachi School | | | | Dates: | 1983-1996 | | | | Abstract: | Fuchs Mizrachi School is an Orthodox Jewish day school, preschool through grade 12, located in University Heights, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. The school, founded in 1983 as Bet Sefer Mizrachi of Cleveland, was renamed Fuchs Bet Sefer Mizrachi in 1994 in honor of benefactors Susan and Leonard Fuchs; in 1999 it was renamed Fuchs Mizrachi School. It was established by a group of Zionist Orthodox Jewish friends, all with young children. Its curriculum included political and religious Zionism, Orthodox Judaism, modern Hebrew, and secular studies. After 8 years of renting space at Taylor Road Synagogue and Taylor Academy in Cleveland Heights and at Northwood Elementary School in University Heights, the school purchased the former Northwood Elementary School in 1994.
