Our grandfathers were truly committed to the traditions of Judaism. Herbert’s, by establishing the Heights Jewish Center in the lower level of his home on Euclid Heights Boulevard; and mine, by hiring a Jewish education teacher for his nine children in a totally non-Jewish community.

It is because of our heritage of integrity, support and foresight that we decided to do likewise in our community. In our many travels, we visited synagogues, wherever they existed, throughout the world. Amazingly, other than the language differences, observances were the same. We are proud to be contributors to our heritage through our endowment to the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland. By so doing, we honor our families, both those past and those to come.
