Ryan Levine has not only been a dedicated young leader at the Jewish Federation of Cleveland, but his generosity has also provided him with much in return.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland's Young Leadership Division (YLD) is seeking outstanding young Jewish Clevelanders to serve on the YLD Board. YLD engages and cultivates future leaders of the Cleveland Jewish Community.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland hosted its Young Leadership Division Big Event featuring multiplatform creator, performer and actor Jonah Platt on Nov. 14 at Congregation Mishkan Or in Beachwood, where he discussed his career, his fight against anti-Jewish hate and his role as a global advocate in the entertainment industry.

Jonah Platt will discuss his Jewish identity at the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s Young Leadership Division Big Event, the signature fundraising event for the division, from 7 to 10 p.m. Nov. 14 at Congregation Mishkan Or at 26000 Shaker Blvd. in Beachwood.
