Thanks Pat Corrigan It began years ago when I could not find the deed for the land that would become Mayfield Cemetery under the names of the congregations. Without hesitation you said "Look for Jacob Mandelbaum." I found the purchase in 1877 by Mandelbaum, a Tifereth Israel trustee and his conveyance of the deed the next day to Tifereth Israel. Another example is locating the almost-hidden grave of Moses Alsbacher, who led the group from Unsleben Bavaria here in 1839. For your help sharing many tales of Cleveland Jewish history, I am sincerely grateful. Arnie Berger |
