Alsbacher, Moses Ethical Testament May 5, 1839

The records are in German and Hebrew

The Moses Alsbacher Ethical Testament, 1839, is a forty-six page manuscript which contains the names of Alsbacher and his fellow Unsleben passengers on the S.S. Howard, the names of the Jewish people left behind in Unsleben, and a prayer and message to the group written by their teacher, Lazarus Kohn. This ethical testament states that in the United States, the group will have the opportunity to abandon its religion, and implores the group to remember its heritage. The document is primarily in German; the prayer is in Hebrew and German with Hebrew letters.

This document is of value to researchers studying the German Jewish migration to the United States in the first half of the nineteenth century in general, and to the Cleveland, Ohio, area in particular. It is also of value to genealogists tracing the first Jewish families in Cleveland. The Alsbacher Ethical Testament is also an interesting example of a Jewish ethical will, a document usually directed to family members, but in this case, towards a group with a common purpose in immigrating to the United States.

The fifteen individuals named in the document who settled in Cleveland, Ohio, are:

Moses Alsbacher (1805-1874) Yetta Alsbacher, wife of Moses Alsbacher (1818-1892) Yidele Alsbacher, daughter of Moses Alsbacher (1838-?) Simson Hopfermann (1777-1840) Sarah Hopfermann, wife of Simson Hopfermann (1776-?) Seckel Hopfermann, son of Simson Hopfermann (1815-1890) Faigel Hopfermann, daughter of Simson Hopfermann (1814-1896) Zerle Hopfermann, daughter of Simson Hopfermann (1821-1848) Meyer Thorman, brother of Simson Thorman (1809-1876) Simla Thorman, brother of Simson Thorman (1811-1890) Ranle Thorman, sister of Simson Thorman (1813-?) Moses Rosenbaum (1807-1890) Hannah Rosenbaum, sister of Moses Rosenbaum (1821-1893) Reuben Fleischauer (1813-?) Rachel Klein (1815-1885)

Gift of the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland in 1979.

The collection has been retained in original order.

While there are no access restrictions for the Moses Alsbacher Ethical Testament, researchers will be asked to use this microfilm edition of the document. Additionally, a facsimile of the document has been created. Due to the fragile nature of the original document, researchers will be asked to utilize the facsimile in their research if the microfilm proves insufficient.

Processed by Jane A. Avner in 2002. Filmed at the Western Reserve Historical Society in 2001.

On July 12, 1839, Moses Alsbacher (1805-1874), his wife, and seventeen other Jews from Unsleben, Bavaria, arrived in New York City on the S. S. Howard. From New York, Alsbacher and fourteen of his group came to Cleveland, Ohio, late in the summer. Joining three other Unsleben men already in Cleveland, including Simson Thorman (1812-1881), this group became the neculeus of Cleveland's Jewish community, founding a synagogue, buying land for a cemetery, and establishing social and charitable organizations.

Biographical sketch courtesy of the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History: Maurice Bernon (Bernstein) (1885-1954) was a political activist, philanthropist, and a member of the Jewish community in Cleveland, Ohio. He was born in Cleveland, the son of Polish immigrants David J. and Augusta Jacobs Bernstein. Educated at Central High School, Bernstein entered Western Reserve University Law school at age 18 and received an LLB degree in 1906. After graduation he practiced law and held a succession of elected and appointed positions in local government, including Cleveland City Councilman, representing the 15th Ward on lower Woodland Avenue from 1908-1909, and assistant city solicitor, 1910-1911. As a member of member of the Ohio Senate from 1913-1914, Bernstein promoted legislation in the tradition of Cleveland Mayor Tom Johnson who sought to improve the quality of urban life in Cleveland; he also was Assistant Attorney General, Ohio, from 1917-1918. Changing his name to Bernon about 1919, he was elected judge of the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court in 1920, serving until 1924. At that time he was the senior partner in the firm of Bernon, Mulligan, Keeley & LeFever. Bernon was one of the principal strategists for the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party from 1928-1934, the period when the Ward-Mayor form of government replaced Cleveland's City Manager Plan. He was elected to the party's Executive Board in 1936. Active in the WELFARE Association For Jewish Children, Bernon was the first campaign chairman of the Jewish Welfare Fund organized to provide money for local, national, and international Jewish causes outside the scope of local welfare activities.

Bernon married Minnie Reiss in 1912, and they had two children, Howard of Roslyn, New York, and George. A resident of Cleveland when he died, Bernon was buried at Mayfield Cemetery.

1 folder.

Biographical sketch courtesy of the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History Frank D. Celebrezze (1899-1953) was an assistant county prosecutor in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, parks director, safety director, and municipal court judge. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and was the son of Rocco V. and Dorothy (Marcogiuseppe) Celebrezze (Cilibrizzi). The family returned to Italy in 1908 to find employment and Frank attended Italian schools. After the family returned to Cleveland in 1912, Frank enrolled in Brownell School. Encouraged by a teacher to continue his schooling, he graduated from East Techinical High School, enrolled in St. Ignatius College (now John Carroll University) for a year, and attended the University of Notre Dame for three years, receiving an Bachelor of Laws degree (LL.B.) in 1925. He was admitted to the bar in 1926 and went into private practice. He married Mary Delsander on November 24, 1927, and had six children, Frank D., Jr., Gerald, Dorothy, Joanne, Monica, and James P.

Democratic party politics attracted Celebrezze, and he was appointed assistant county prosecutor in 1929. While in the prosecutor's office, he spearheaded a successful drive to break up racket operations in Cleveland, assisting Judge Frank Lausche in closing the large gambling clubs. He went to Italy to try Angelo Amato in connection with the Sly-Fanner murder case. Amato was sentenced to prison for thirty years. Celebrezze served as parks director before being appointed safety director in 1942, replacing Eliot Ness. He remained there until 1947, with a brief stint in the Army during World War II. He was elected judge of the municipal court in 1947 and was reelected in 1951. Celebrezze was buried in the Holy Cross Cemetery of Cleveland.

Records of The Temple (Temple-Tifereth Israel), the second oldest existing Jewish temple in Cleveland, Ohio. Includes bulletins, anniversary programs, event programs, histories, brochures, confirmation programs, newspaper clippings, and other material.

2 folders.

historical sketch courtesy of the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History Tifereth Israel, also known as the Temple, was established in 1850 in Cleveland, Ohio. Several members of Anshe Chesed left that congregation in a dispute over religious ritual and founded Tifereth Israel, which means "glory of Israel." The new congregation hired Rabbi Isidore Kalisch (1850-1855), who had assumed the Anshe Chesed pulpit a few months earlier. A $3,000 bequest from the estate of New Orleans philanthropist Judah Touro (1854) served as the foundation of a fundraising campaign. A synagogue was erected at Huron and Miami streets and dedicated in 1855.

Tifereth Israel soon began instituting reforms. Synagogue remodeling in 1861 featured family pews (ending the traditional separation of the sexes during religious services) and installation of an organ. A choir formed, and five years later the congregation adopted the Minhag America, a distinctly American Reform prayerbook. During the tenures of rabbis Jacob Mayer (1867-1974) and Aaron Hahn (1874-1992), Tifereth Israel adopted more reforms. In 1873 the congregation joined the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the newly formed lay Reform organization.

Moses J. Gries (1868-1918) became rabbi in 1892, and during his 25 years he led Tifereth Israel into the forefront of Reform Judaism. In 1894 the congregation dedicated a new synagogue at Willson Avenue (East 55th Street) and became known as the Willson Avenue Temple, or simply, the Temple. Rabbi Gries introduced the concept of the open synagogue and, with Martin Marks, president of the congregation for 23 years, established such programs as a Women's Association (1897), a library (1898), a gymnasium (1901), and an orchestra (1916). The congregation adopted the Union Prayer Book, Hebrew was dropped from the Sunday school curriculum and from much of the religious service, and Sabbath services moved from Saturday to Sunday.

Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver (1893-1963) succeeded Gries in 1917 and served until his death in 1963. Silver discontinued purely recreational and social programs and concentrated on cultural and religious activities. By 1920 most of the Temple's membership had moved east to Wade Park and the Heights. A large parcel of land was purchased at Ansel Road and East 105th Street in Cleveland's University Circle neighborhood. Architect Charles R. Greco designed a $1.5 million synagogue, dedicated in1924. The new sanctuary seated 2,000 but, by 1945, the Temple's membership was so great that on High Holy Days branch services were held in Severance Hall. Rabbi Daniel Jeremy Silver began assisting at

Tifereth Israel in 1956 and succeeded his father. He served the Temple until he died in 1989. Following World War II, the Temple's members again moved east. In 1969 the congregation dedicated the Temple Branch in Beachwood, Ohio. Although holding many services and activities at the, branch, in December 1990 Tifereth Israel rededicated its University Circle sanctuary in memory of Abba Hillel and Daniel Silver.

In 1994 and 1995, the Temple underwent a complete interior renovation which included the installation of additional showcases for museum exhibits in the East Building. In 1995 Rabbi Benjamin Alon Kamin served the congregation's 1,600 families.
