Developing hyperlinked pages to make it
easier to find online Cleveland Jewish history.
Increasing our
web-based history with pages created on this site by similarly
interested persons.
By encouraging organizations to
present their history on the web, on this site or their own. This website is a
work in progress.
It began in 1998 with a page of links on Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver, that grew to become
a 20 page website - the only one on Cleveland's leading Jewish
citizen. In December 2006 the Silver website became the nucleus of this new
website which has since grown to more than 230 pages.
