As more than 200 young Jewish Clevelanders gathered together in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, Adam Teitelbaum of the Israel Action Network and the Jewish Federations of North America, shared hope that out of this crisis will be a new awakening.

Twenty-three days after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, the Cleveland Jewish community came together for a vigil for the over 230 hostages taken during the attacks.

We are saddened to share the loss of Robert D. Gries z"l, Federation Emeritus Trustee.

On Oct. 9, two days after the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust, I stood on a stage in front of more than 2,000 grieving members of our Cleveland community who came together to demonstrate our steadfast support for Israel and the Israeli people – and our deep commitment to each other as one people. The faces looking back at me were filled with sorrow, fear, anger and resolve. Business and civic leaders were standing resolutely shoulder to shoulder with Jewish leaders, and Jewish community members alongside others from all backgrounds and beliefs.

There are times when everything changes.

Former Cleveland ShinShin (Israeli emissaries) share their thoughts and send thank you messages to our community with the ongoing war in Israel.

We condemn the brutality of Hamas or any other terrorist group, and stand with Israel and the Jewish people.
