Overgrown trees and grass. Broken or missing fences. Overturned or damaged headstones.
That’s what people have been seeing when they visit many of the older Jewish cemeteries in Greater Cleveland, which have fallen into disrepair. Overall, there are about 69,000 graves in 16 Jewish cemeteries and three general cemeteries with Jewish sections in the Cleveland area.

Jeff Morris, a local amateur historian has completed much of the work on an interesting project. He has used the features of Google Maps to map the major Cleveland Jewish locations from the past and present over a modern Cleveland map. This is a great way to learn history and to explore today’s neighborhoods and to see what was once there. Many of the pins contain more information and a link to media from CSU’s Special Collections web site. Enjoy the link and share feedback with Jeff, jeffmorris74@gmail.com.
Also be sure to check out Jeff’s free online e-book which offers a detailed history of the Orthodox Synagogues of Cleveland. In addition check out his Haymarket to the Heights: The Movement of Cleveland’s Orthodox Synagogues From Their Initial Meeting Places to the Heights article too.

It’s been about two years since the city began working on plans for a public park between Fenwick and Saybrook roads.
That park came a bit closer to reality Tuesday night when final plans, as prepared by two architectural firms, received approval from the city’s Planning Commission.
We are all aware that the Beachwood – University Heights Community Kollel has received permission from the University Heights City Council to build a Torah home. Yad Hashem was clearly evident as four major variances were overcome to reach this milestone. With demolition of the existing structures scheduled for mid – July, the date for construction is getting closer.
The Kollel has been a Torah learning center for hundreds of families for over eighteen years, and is literally “bursting at the seams.” The building campaign has begun in a most earnest way, with a remarkable participation on the part of many outstanding individuals who reside in our community.

This smoke detector has a special feature not found in most models – it allows several units to link together through a wireless connection and if there is a fire or carbon monoxide then every detector will alert and a voice will call out the name of the room where the actual fire is located. Further it offers a combined carbon monoxide detector as well in the same unit. These are usually near $100 or more but Amazon has these on sale for just $39. Obviously the best way to utilize these detectors is to buy a few and have them all talk to one another. Consider buying long life batteries as reviews cite that the wireless functioning depletes battery life which is usually maxed out at 6 months.
