Descended from the first Jewish settler in Cleveland in 1837,
six generations of our family have had the privilege of being a vital part and actively involved in the building of our Jewish community and our city.
Each succeeding generation has been trained to continue this tradition of service and commitment.
It is our hope that the seventh generation, including five young children currently living here, will be inspired to carry on and will in turn teach their children and grandchildren the importance of involvement with the Jewish community, with Cleveland and of creating an even stronger bond between the two.
