News, Info & Resources for the Cleveland Orthodox Jewish Community
(Cleveland Jewish News)
The Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s 2011 population study showed a strong, stable, highly engaged Jewish community in Northeast Ohio. A total of 80,800 Jewish people reside in Greater Cleveland, about the same as the number reported in the Federation’s study of 1996.
The latest study also pinpointed areas of community need. It revealed a significant percentage of Jewish people who are economically vulnerable, a large “baby boomer” generation that will ultimately need aging services and a growing number of interfaith families.

We’ll be collecting chometz donations through 9am Erev Pesach. Look for boxes to be in place after Thursday evening. NEW THIS Year drop-offs at Pesach EXPO and Kemach.Also Heights Jewish Center and Telshe Yeshiva.
With Pesach preparations in full swing, I’d like to share one of my favorite vorts about Pesach – from the late Bostoner Rebbetzin, a”h.
She was fond of reversing the usual seasonal salutations and would wish people “A Kosher Purim” and “A Freilichen (Happy) Pesach” – because our Purim activities and food/drink choices should always be kosher and our Pesach preparations should always be happy!
So, a Freilichen Pesach to one and all!
