| | | | Creator: | NA'AMAT USA | | | | Dates: | 1936-2012 | | | | Abstract: | NA'AMAT USA is a Labor Zionist women's organization originally called Pioneer Women. The Cleveland Council of NA'AMAT was founded in 1926 in Cleveland, Ohio, one year after the national organization came into being. As the organization grew, it was divided into numbered chapters. At its peak, there were fourteen chapters. In 1999, there were four chapters in the Cleveland Council, serving 650 women. Pioneer Women was organized to provide training, educational services, and social services to women, children, and families in Palestine. The Cleveland Council raised funds and sponsored programs that informed the Cleveland community of social service and educational needs in Israel. The national organization also promoted Habonim, a youth organization, and sponsored Jewish and cultural activities. In 1985 the name Pioneer Women was changed to NA'AMAT USA, in order to more closely match its sister organization in Israel, NA'AMAT. The collection consists of agendas, awards, brochures, calendars, cards, certificates, correspondence, flyers, forms, handbooks, ledgers, lists, magazines and magazine clippings, minutes, negatives, newsletters, notes, photographs, press releases, programs, receipts, and schedules pertaining to the membership and operations of Pioneer Women and, later, NA'AMAT USA. | | | | Call #: | MS 5380 | | | | Extent: | 1.50 linear feet (2 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Working-women's clubs -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Zionism -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jewish women -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies and clubs. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Labor Zionism -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc.
