With gratitude for all you’ve done since October 7, and a call to care for one another and our future.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland and Jews everywhere celebrate this long-awaited moment of relief and joy, standing in solidarity with the families and the people of Israel.

It became clear that her parents could no longer manage on their own.
