Kosher Food Bank Recognition Celebration

Leave a Comment

(Submission)
RIASBannerWe would like to acquaint you with the Kosher Food Bank, a humanitarian program in our community that has distributed 12,000 food packages over the last year, in the greater Cleveland area.

Every week, without fail, the volunteers for the Kosher Food Bank are there, with dedication, commitment and a warm heart! We could not have accomplished this without them.

On Sunday July 21st, 7:00 pm we will be hosting our Kosher Food Bank Recognition Celebration, and you are invited to help honor the 50 volunteers, who have been an inspiration. They will be presented with the Rebbetzin Kazen Volunteer Award. The program will take place at the Waxman Chabad Center 2479 South Green Road, Beachwood Ohio.

Rabbi Israel Porath, zt”l Remembered On Cleveland Jewish History Website

2 Comments

rabbiporath(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.
