Three years ago, the Jewish Federation of Cleveland launched a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) initiative in four communities in Israel, including Beit Shean, Cleveland's sister city.

The 2022 Campaign for Jewish Needs is officially in full swing. The Launch Event was held in-person and over Zoom.

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland launched its 2022 Campaign for Jewish Needs in a virtual event Aug. 31, where stories from individuals detailing how the Federation and Jewish community have impacted them served as the key message.

Following the recent Israeli-Hamas conflict and ongoing battles against COVID-19, 17 local Jews visited Israel to extend the city’s support and learn about Cleveland’s positive impact on the country.

Four Clevelanders from the Jewish Federations of North America’s National Young Leadership Cabinet attended a daylong program of lectures and panel discussions targeting antisemitism and solutions to slow its rising growth July 20 in Washington, D.C.

From June 9 to Aug. 3, 36 Jewish college students or recent graduates from or living in Greater Cleveland ventured to Tel Aviv through Onward Israel’s partnership with the Jewish Federation of Cleveland in Beachwood.

Motivated by the unexpected success and learning points of last year’s campaign, Bradley A. Sherman is ready to kick off his second year heading the annual fundraiser that garners much-needed money for local, national and international Jewish organizations.

"The most meaningful part of being in Israel has been learning who I am, where I come from, and why this beautiful country is crucial to my life."

We hope to see you at our upcoming events! During the month of August, we'll clean up one of our local Jewish cemetery grounds prior to the High Holy Days, learn about the acceleration of real estate technology during COVID-19, celebrate Elul with 30 days of inspiration, and more.

To celebrate Elul, we invite you to take part in the “Elul 30 Day Learning Challenge,” a Jewish community initiative beginning on August 8! All community members are welcome to participate and receive 30 days of curated content for daily inspiration.
