| | Photograph Collection | Requires cookie* | | 1 | Title: | Cleveland Hebrew Schools Photographs
| | | | Creator: | Cleveland Hebrew Schools | | | | Dates: | 1912-1976 | | | | Abstract: | The Cleveland Hebrew Schools evolved from the Montefiore Free Hebrew School (later called the Talmud Torah) established in Cleveland, Ohio, ca. 1885. In 1905, another communal Hebrew school was founded by Joshua Flock and Aaron Garber. In 1907, the two schools combined, the name remaining the Talmud Torah. In 1913, the Talmud Torah received an Ohio charter and changed its name to the Cleveland Hebrew School and Institute, enrolling students in grades one through eight. Abraham Hayyim Friedland, an internationally known educator, headed the school from 1921-1939. In 1926, a high school was added, and a Parent Council was organized in 1930. Bernard Levitin served as superintendent from 1944-1970, a period of movement of Cleveland's Jewish population to the suburbs. A reorganization of the Cleveland Hebrew Schools took place during this period, with some Cleveland branches closing and new suburban schools opening. As the number of Jewish day schools and congregational classes grew, the Cleveland Hebrew Schools enrollment dropped and branches were further consolidated. In 1955, the Parent Council organized Camp Oneg, a Hebrew summer day camp, and Ganon Gil Nursery, a Hebrew school for preschool children. In 1967 Cleveland Hebrew High School merged into Akiva High School. The collection consists of individual portraits of some of the organization's leaders, such as A. H. Friedland, Bernard Levitin, and Rabbi Samuel Margolies. Group portraits and views include the Judea Ladies Auxiliary, student groups, Camp Oneg, Ganon Gil Nursery School, graduation classes, various Cleveland Hebrew School locations, and other school events and clubs. | | | | Call #: | PG 495 | | | | Extent: | 0.51 linear feet (2 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Cleveland Hebrew Schools -- Photograph collections. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jews -- Education -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish educators -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Schools -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish religious education -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish religious schools -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs.

| Photograph Collection | Requires cookie* | | 3 | Title: | Temple-Tifereth Israel Photographs
| | | | Creator: | Temple-Tifereth Israel | | | | Dates: | 1870-2008 | | | | Abstract: | The Temple-Tifereth Israel is the second oldest Jewish congregation in Cleveland, Ohio. The congregation was founded in 1850 after several members of Anshe Chesed, Cleveland's first congregation, left that congregation as the result of a dispute over religious ritual. After implementing religious reforms in the service and hiring a dedicated rabbi for the congregation, Tifereth Israel eventually built the first synagogue for the congregation in 1855 at Huron and Miami Streets. In 1894 the congregation moved to Willson Avenue in the Woodland neighborhood and then to Wade Park on East 105th Street in 1924. The congregation dedicated The Temple Branch in Beachwood in 1969. In 2010 it was announced that the East 105th Street building would be renovated by Case Western Reserve University for use as a performing arts center. The congregation currently makes its home in Beachwood. The collection consists of oversize confirmation photographs. Each individual photograph, except the ones before 1909, depicts individual portraits of each member of the class for the given year. The photographs prior to 1909 are group portraits. Each portrait includes photographs of the rabbis of the congregation at the time, including Moses Gries, Abba Hillel Silver, and Daniel Silver. There are no photographs for 1871-1897, 1952, 1954, 1987 and 1988. | | | | Call #: | PG 589 | | | | Extent: | 0.96 linear feet (96 oversize folders) | | | | Subjects: | Jews -- Education -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Genealogy. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History -- Photographs. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Temple-Tifereth Israel (Cleveland, Ohio) -- History | Temple-Tifereth Israel (Cleveland, Ohio) -- Photograph collections | Temple-Tifereth Israel (Cleveland, Ohio) | Jewish History | Genealogy

| Photograph Collection | Requires cookie* | | 6 | Title: | Workmen's Circle of Cleveland Photographs, Series III
| | | | Creator: | Workmen's Circle of Cleveland | | | | Dates: | 1930-1995 | | | | Abstract: | The Workmen's Circle of Cleveland (f. 1904) is a secular Jewish fraternal organization formed in the United States to perpetuate Yiddish language and culture, support and promote a liberal political agenda, offer both health and death benefits, and provide a meeting place for fellowship. Its Yiddish cultural programming includes lectures, readings, concerts, third Passover Seders, and the I.L. Peretz Workmen's Circle School, a supplementary program for children. Following World War II and the Holocaust and the continuing acculturation into American life of the descendants of its Yiddish-speaking Jewish immigrant founders, the Workmen's Circle, in Cleveland, Ohio, and nationwide, has been experiencing significant and continuous loss of membership. The Workmen's Circle's group health plan and death benefits, both of which are available on a non-sectarian basis, are the major source of membership. The collection consists of approximately 850 images of the activities of the Workmen's Circle of Cleveland, Ohio, particularly Branch 671E and the I.L. Peretz School. | | | | Call #: | PG 560 | | | | Extent: | 0.80 linear feet (2 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Workmen's Circle (U.S.) -- Photographs. | Workmen's Circle (U.S.) -- Photograph collections. | I.L.
