| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 2 | Title: | Sherith Jacob Congregation Records
| | | | Creator: | Sherith Jacob Congregation | | | | Dates: | 1905-1971 | | | | Abstract: | Sherith Jacob Congregation is an Orthodox Jewish congregation founded by Hungarian immigrants in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1899. Served by Rabbi Julius Klein from its founding until 1917, Sherith Jacob was without a rabbi until 1922, when Ormond Klein served the congregation until 1926. In 1928, Hugo H. Klein, whose maternal grandfather was Rabbi Julius Klein, became rabbi. The congregation was located at various sites in Cleveland until 1944, when it moved into a new building at Eddy Rd. and Arlington Ave. By the early 1960s, the congregation sold the Eddy Rd. building and rented facilities in the Cleveland Heights-South Euclid area. In 1962 it merged with Sherith Israel to become Sherith Jacob Israel. In 1970, it was absorbed into Kehillat Yaakov, Warrensville Center Synagogue. The collection consists of congregational correspondence, a constitution, legal documents, minutes of congregational meetings, financial statements, publications, and correspondence of Rabbi Hugo Klein. Of particular note are letters documenting Rabbi Klein's attempts to aid relatives fleeing Europe in the late 1930s and his involvement in a memorial book for Ungvar, Hungary, Jews killed in World War II. | | | | Call #: | MS 4528 | | | | Extent: | 0.80 linear feet (2 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Klein, Hugo H., 1903-1974. | Sherith Jacob Congregation (Cleveland, Ohio). | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Synagogues -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Organization and administration. | Jews, Hungarian -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Orthodox Judaism -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
