Rabbi Israel Porath, zt”l Remembered On Cleveland Jewish History Website
(The following is from a Letter to the CJN. The website that it is referring to is ClevelandJewishHistory.net which is a very useful resource in studying Cleveland Jewish history.)
I am glad to inform the Cleveland Jewish News and its readers of a new website dedicated to the memory of my grandfather, Rabbi Israel Porath zt”l, who served Cleveland’s Oheb Zedek, N’vai Zedek and Heights Jewish Center for nearly five decades. For many years, as leader of the Orthodox Rabbinical Council (Merkaz Harabbanim), he was regarded as the dean of Cleveland’s Orthodox rabbis.
Family members in Cleveland and in Israel furnished pictures, clippings and stories to Arnold Berger, who used them to create a new section of the Cleveland Jewish History website.
