Federation Names and Logos | |
Federation's four names Since its founding in 1903 our Cleveland communal Jewish organization has had four names.
In 2010 what had been known since 1952 as the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland
changed its name to the Jewish Federation of Cleveland. To
show it had made other name changes in its more than a
century of service, the Federation website added a page "History of the
Federation logo". In early 2015 the History pages on
Federation's website were removed. Fortunately we had saved
a copy of that page. We show its images in
the table below. |
