From a public email announcement from current Mayor Susan Infeld:
I am sorry to share the news of the recent passing of former Mayor Beryl Rothschild. Mayor Rothschild was one of the first women mayors elected in the State of Ohio and was also one of the longest-serving mayors in the State. She served on numerous boards and commissions regionally and state-wide and was very well-respected among her peers. Her civic legacy was far-reaching and prolific. Her interest and care for University Heights was evident in her work as a 42-year elected official (first as a Councilwoman for 10 years and then as the Mayor for 32 years). We have all benefited from her wisdom and years of service.
Mayor Rothschild had not been in good health of late and was recently in hospice. She passed away last Friday and her funeral service will be tomorrow, November 29th at 10 a.m. at the Berkowitz-Kumin funeral home on Taylor Road in Cleveland Heights. The funeral home will live stream the funeral service at http://bitly.com/largechapel for those who may want to watch from home. Following the funeral the mourners will process through University Heights as they travel to the cemetery.The procession will follow this route from the funeral home to the cemetery: turning left onto Taylor Road; turning left onto Washington Blvd and passing Mayor Rothschild’s former home, City Hall, and John Carroll University; turning left onto Belvoir Blvd; turning left onto Cedar Road and passing Purvis Park; turning right onto Warrensville Center Road; turning left onto Mayfield Road where the procession will end at the Mayfield Cemetery.
Condolences can be sent to Mayor Rothschild’s family at the following address: Brian and Margaret Slesnik, 4463 High Ridge Trail, Akron, OH 44333. Additional information is available at www.cleveland.com/obits.
Sincerely,
Susan Infeld
Mayor

Why is this posted here? Didn’t she also swear that another shul would not be built in University Heights. She was not a friend of the jewish community.
