  • The Evolution of the Orthodox Jewish Community in Cleveland, Ohio, 1940 to the Present
    SJHSS 2019 DOI | 10.26613/sjhss/2.2.48 The Evolution of the Orthodox Jewish Community in Cleveland, Ohio, 1940 to the Present Ira Robinson Concordia Institute for Canadian Jewish Studies Abstract The article first summarizes the history of Orthodox Jewry in Cleveland from the mid- nineteenth century up to the Second World War, based on an article I wrote on that period that is published elsewhere. It begins to consider the postwar period by examining some significant issues with respect to Orthodox Holocaust survivors coming to Cleveland. It continues with a discussion of the founding of the Telshe Yeshiva and deals with its considerable significance in the postwar development of Cleveland Orthodoxy. It discusses the founding of the first Orthodox day school in Cleveland, the Hebrew Academy, in 1943, and the significance of the proliferation of day schools in the 1980s. It examines the establishment of Orthodox synagogues in the Cleveland Heights/University Heights area in the 1950s and later in Beachwood. It discusses developments in the regulation of kashrut in this era including the influence of the Cleveland Jewish Federation on local kashrut through the 1990s and the Haredization of kashrut standards at the end of the twentieth century. Postwar relations and tensions between Orthodox and non-Orthodox Jews in Cleveland, both institutionally and on a grassroots level, are considered. The article concludes with a survey of the Orthodox Jewish community of Cleveland in the early twenty-first century with special emphasis on its educational initiatives and the relationship between “yeshivish” and “modern” Orthodox Jews. FOREWORD: ORTHODOX JUDAISM IN CLEVELAND 1839–19401 tended to look at all of them as different from When, in the 1840s, Cleveland Jews began themselves; “Orthodox” regardless of their level to create their first synagogues, they were of Judaic observance.
