We hope to see you at our upcoming events! During the month of May, we'll discuss the importance of integrating wellness during times of uncertainty, celebrate Shavuot with ice cream, launch a new book club for young adults, and more!

In a celebration and commemoration of the year prior, the Jewish Federation of Cleveland highlighted its successful programming and efforts performed under COVID-19 and awarded its highest honor for exceptional civic contributions to the staffs of Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth System and University Hospitals, all in Cleveland, during its 117th annual meeting April 21.

After the devastation of World War II, the leaders of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland came together and decided that they would create an endowment fund so that if and when an unknown crisis in the future arose, the community would be prepared and able to act. Since that time, the Unrestricted Endowment Fund has been Jewish Cleveland’s safety net that has supported our beneficiaries in times of economic downturns, helped to defend Israel when it has been under attack, and assisted Jewish and general communities throughout the United States and the world when natural disasters such as fires, earthquakes, and hurricanes have wrought destruction.

– The Jewish Federation of Cleveland announced that the staff of Cleveland Clinic, The MetroHealth System, and University Hospitals have been named the 97th recipients of the Charles Eisenman Award, the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s highest civic honor for outstanding contributions to our community. The Federation recognized these three healthcare systems and celebrated our community at the 117th Annual Meeting on Wednesday, April 21.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland received well over its initial goal for its Good Deeds Day celebration April 18, with more than 165 casseroles and 1,000 pounds of food items donated.

2020 was barely three months old when the world as we knew it changed immediately and dramatically.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland hosted the virtual 117th Annual Meeting for our community.

In celebration of Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israel's 73rd Independence Day, our community enjoyed both a family-friendly in-"car"-nival drive-in experience and a virtual event!

As the state of Israel rang in its 73rd anniversary, hundreds of people across Cleveland showed their patriotism during the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s Yom Ha’atzmaut festival April 15.
