Jewish Federation of Cleveland, Kol Israel Foundation remember Holocaust with Yom Hashoah V’Hagvurah, Cleveland’s Commemoration of the Holocaust & Heroism
An estimated 770 Holocaust survivors live in the Cleveland area. Our community will honor these survivors and remember those who perished during the Holocaust at the Jewish Federation of Cleveland and Kol Israel Foundation’s Yom Hashoah V’Hagvurah. Join us on Wednesday, April 11 at 7:00 pm at Park Synagogue Main, 3300 Mayfield Road in Cleveland Heights. This annual event is free and open to the community.
Rabbi Joshua Skoff will provide the keynote address at the commemoration, which will feature Torah scrolls from Europe that survived the Holocaust. Survivors will join their families in lighting candles in memory of the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust. Children attending the service will be able to participate in a “March of the Generations” to signify that Jewish life continues after the Holocaust.

Annual Workman's Circle Yiddish ConcertAnnual Workman's Circle Yiddish Concert
Funk a Deli (formerly known as Yiddishe Cup) plays klezmer and soul music -- everything from Yiddish classics to Aretha Franklin. Bandleader Bert Stratton, said about the band’s new name, "It's all soul music to me. I changed the band's name after 30 years because I got sick of playing only 'Hava Nagila' every weekend." Funk a Deli welcomes special guests Cantor Kathryn Wolfe Sebo, Steven Greenman, and more to the annual Workmen's Circle Yiddish Concert. Michael Wex, author of Born to Kvetch and a popular guest on Terry Gross's NPR program Fresh Air, will emcee the evening.

Annual Spring Cemetery Clean-up
Volunteers Needed for Annual Spring Cemetery Cleanup on April 29
CLEVELAND – There is no greater mitzvah (good deed) than caring for those who came before us. Volunteers are needed for the Annual Spring Cemetery Cleanup hosted by the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s Jewish Volunteer Network and the Commission on Cemetery Preservation (COCP). The event will take place on Sunday, April 29 from 9:30 – 11:30 am at Chesed Shel Emeth (3740 Ridge Road, Cleveland), also known as Ridge Rd. #1.
Volunteers are asked to bring weed trimmers, shovels, clippers, hedgers, gloves, wheelbarrows, and other gardening tools to help prune, rake, and spruce up the cemetery grounds. Shaimos (holy writings, words of Torah, and Holy Objects) will be collected at the Cemetery Cleanup and subsequently buried at the cemetery as a sign of reverence and respect according to Jewish law.
All ages are welcome to participate in this community-wide event, rain or shine. Past Cemetery Cleanup events have attracted hundreds of people across generations and denominations.
Event Chairs are Dan Brown, Jeff Morris, and Judy and Marv Solganik.
To learn more or register, visit www.jewishcleveland.org, email volunteer@jcfcleve.org , or call 216-593-2887.
