| Abstract: |
The Brisker and Grodner Benevolent Society was established in 1907 by immigrants from Bresk and Grodno, Lithuania, to provide
fellowship and financial assistance to landsmen settling in Cleveland, Ohio. The Society has since become a primarily social
club, sponsoring monthly meetings with entertainment programs and an annual banquet. It has also opened its membership to
the entire Jewish community. The collection consists of minutes (1938-1960), constitutions, membership lists (1960 and 1976),
receipts, awards, certificates, newspaper clippings and miscellany.
