| | Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Park Synagogue (Anshe Emeth-Beth Tefilo) Records
| | | | Creator: | Park Synagogue (Anshe Emeth-Beth Tefilo) | | | | Dates: | 1888-1995 | | | | Abstract: | Park Synagogue, one of the largest Conservative Jewish synagogues in the world, was founded in 1869 in Cleveland, Ohio, as Anshe Emeth Congregation by twelve Jewish immigrant families from Poland. In 1904, the congregation engaged its first English speaking rabbi, Samuel Margolies. Anshe Emeth merged with Congregation Beth Tefilo ca. 1916, and a large synagogue was built for the combined congregation on East 105th Street in 1922. That same year, Rabbi Solomon Goldman, a well known scholar, teacher, and activist, was hired. He led the congregation into the ranks of Conservative Judaism. In 1934, the congregation engaged one of its own confirmands, Armond E. Cohen, as rabbi. The synagogue, popularly called the Cleveland Jewish Center, became a focus of Jewish life in the Glenville area, serving the social, intellectual, and recreational needs, as well as the religious, of its members; one of the first synagogues in the United States combining all of these facilities in one structure. Following the eastward movement of Cleveland's Jewish population, property on Mayfield Road in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, was purchased in 1942 from the private Park School. In 1950, Park Synagogue (as the congregation came to be known) dedicated a new building, designed by Eric Mendelsohn. In 1969, Kangesser Hall, a 2,000 seat auditorium, was dedicated. When B'rith Emeth Congregation ceased operations in 1988, their Pepper Pike, Ohio building was purchased by Park Synagogue, becoming their eastern educational facility. Some former members of B'rith Emeth affiliated with Park Synagogue. The collection consists of bulletins, correspondence, committee reports, membership lists, program booklets, blueprints, contracts, and deeds. The collection also contains the records of B'rith Emeth Congregation. | | | | Call #: | MS 4763 | | | | Extent: | 9.21 linear feet (10 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Mendelsohn, Erich, 1887-1953 | Cohen, Armond E., 1909- | Margolies, Samuel, 1878-1917. | Hirsch, Howard. | Roth, Max. | Eisenberg, Frederick. | Stillman, Saul. | Rocker, Henry. | Guren, Myron. | Ratner family. | Park Synagogue (Cleveland Heights, Ohio) | Brith Emeth Temple (Pepper Pike, Ohio) | Anshe Emeth Beth Tefilo Congregation (Cleveland, Ohio) | Cleveland Jewish Center. | Park School (Cleveland Heights, Ohio). | Conservative Judaism -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Synagogues -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Organization and administration. | Synagogue architecture -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Synagogue bulletins.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Brith Emeth Temple Records
| | | | Creator: | Brith Emeth Temple | | | | Dates: | 1961-1986 | | | | Abstract: | Brith Emeth Temple was established in 1959 in the Greater Cleveland, Ohio, area. A need for a new Reform congregation was apparent when existing Reform congregations had reached membership capacity. Services were held at various sites until a permanent synagogue was built in 1967 at 27575 Shaker Boulevard in Pepper Pike, Ohio. It was designed by architect Edward Durell Stone. The Parents' and Teachers' Association began meeting in 1959, and oversaw the Religious School, produced a yearly calendar, and hosted annual programs. The Brith Emeth Sisterhood took on traditional programming responsibilities, and was a major fundraiser for the building fund. Brith Emeth disbanded in 1986, principally for financial reasons. Park Synagogue purchased the Shaker Boulevard building and all of Brith Emeth's assets. The collection consists of constitutions and bylaws, minutes, financial documents including ledgers and reports of financial secretaries and treasurers, planning calendars, programming documentation, memorabilia and newspaper clippings. A major strength of the collection is Series II: Brith Emeth Sisterhood, and Series III: Parents' and Teachers' Association records. | | | | Call #: | MS 4747 | | | | Extent: | 2.20 linear feet (3 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Brith Emeth Temple (Pepper Pike, Ohio) | Brith Emeth Temple (Pepper Pike, Ohio).
