| Abstract: |
The Cleveland Bureau of Jewish Education was organized in 1924 as the coordinating agency for the following Jewish educational
institutions in the Greater Cleveland , Ohio, area: Cleveland Hebrew Schools, Hebrew Academy, United Jewish Religious Schools,
Institute of Jewish Studies, Workmen's Circle School, and Yeshivath Adath B'nai Israel. The collection consists of minutes,
reports, budgets, and correspondence. The bulk of the collection is from 1960-1970, allowing the researcher to study the effects
of rapid secularization and assimilation within the Cleveland, Ohio Jewish community and the efforts by community institutions
responding to these forces. Notable documentation on the Cleveland Hebrew Schools, Cleveland College of Jewish Studies, Hebrew
Academy, and the Jewish Community Federation is included in these records.
