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, memoranda, trustee and committee minutes, reports, proposals, newspaper clippings, wills, and financial records. Records are organized into three series consisting of administrative files, endowment funds, and social planning and research. | | | | Call #: | MS 4835 | | | | Extent: | 107.70 linear feet (111 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Jewish Community Federation (Cleveland, Ohio) | Case Western Reserve University. | Federation for Community Planning. | Baldwin-Wallace College. | Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. | American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. | United Jewish Appeal. | Cleveland Bureau of Jewish Education (Cleveland, Ohio). | Chabad House of Cleveland. | Cleveland College of Jewish Studies. | Jewish Community Center of Cleveland. | Jewish Community Housing, Inc. | Jewish Convalescent Hospital (Cleveland, Ohio). | Jewish Family Service Association (Cleveland, Ohio). | Jewish Vocational Service. | Menorah Park Center for the Aging (Cleveland, Ohio). | Montefiore Home (Cleveland, Ohio) | Mount Sinai Hospital (Cleveland, Ohio) | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Human services. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Charities -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Federations, Financial (Social Service) | Community welfare councils -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Israel-Arab War, 1967. | Charitable uses, trusts, and foundations -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Human services -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Population. | Jewish religious education -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Friendly societies -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Old age homes, Jewish -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
