The Federation of the Jewish Charities of Cleveland changed its name to the Jewish Welfare Federation of Cleveland in 1926, and in 1930, added a fundraising arm, the Jewish Welfare Fund of Cleveland. In 1951 the Jewish Welfare Federation merged with the Jewish Community Council to become the Jewish Community Federation. The collection consists of correspondence, reports, memoranda, and published literature removed from MS 4563 Jewish Community Federation Records because of sensitive or confidential subject matter. It includes records of the Jewish Community Council's Community Relations Committee and its Conciliation and Arbitration Board, as well as case histories from various Jewish social service agencies. The Community Relations Committee investigated allegations of discrimination and antisemitism, and the Conciliation and Arbitration Board mediated conflicts within the Jewish community. | | | | Call #: | MS 4563A | | | | Extent: | 1.40 linear feet (2 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Jewish Community Federation (Cleveland, Ohio) | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities. | Friendly societies -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Charities -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Federations, Financial (Social Service) | Community welfare councils -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Mediation -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Antisemitism -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Discrimination -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Social welfare -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jewish children -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Discrimination in housing -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Discrimination in employment -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jewish communists -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Ethnic relations.
