Cleveland Jewish News

Award-winning news and community coverage serving the Jewish community of Cleveland and Northeast O Wertheimer. Weyne was succeeded in 1970 by Jerry D. Barach.
(31)

The Cleveland Jewish News is the only independent source of Jewish news and commentary serving Northeast Ohio. It was formed in 1964 as an independent successor of two privately owned Jewish newspapers in Cleveland: The Jewish Review & Observer and the Jewish Independent. The Jewish Review & Observer dated to the founding in July 1889 of Cleveland¹s first Jewish newspaper, the Hebrew Observer, by

Hiram Strauss and Sam Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer teamed with Jack Machol in 1893 to start the Jewish Review, which was purchased in 1896 by Dan S. In 1899, Wertheimer merged both weeklies into the Jewish Review & Observer, which the family controlled for the next 65 years. The Jewish Independent, established in March 1906, became another family enterprise when Maurice Weidenthal of The Plain Dealer became editor several weeks later. Circulation approached 20,000 by 1917, when Weidenthal died and was succeeded by his brother Leo. Leo Weidenthal guided the Jewish Independent for 47 years. His retirement in 1964 served as the catalyst for a reorganization of Cleveland¹s Jewish press by a civic group incorporated as the Cleveland Jewish Publication Co. A group of 29 business, professional and communal leaders in Cleveland¹s Jewish community, headed by Lloyd S. Schwenger, arranged for a credit line of $155,000 to secure the assets of the two papers. They created an independent publication that is now held in trust for the Cleveland Jewish community and governed by its own board of directors. The Jewish Community Federation helped support the CJN initially, until it established itself as financially independent. Under the editorship of Arthur Weyne, the Cleveland Jewish News debuted as a 32-page tabloid-sized newspaper on October 30, 1964. Cynthia Dettelbach became editor in 1980. When she retired in 2009, Michael E. Bennett became publisher and editor. The newspaper's offices started on Payne Avenue before moving to the Cedar Center shopping area of University Heights, where it remained for nearly 20 years. In 1989, the paper moved to 3645 Warrensville Center Road in Shaker Heights, near Chagrin Boulevard. In October 2002, the CJN moved to its current location at 23880 Commerce Park, Beachwood. The CJN remains the best way to learn about people, activities, lifecycle events and Jewish institutions and organizations. It also provides thoughtful analysis and perspective on what is happening here, in Israel, and around the world. The company now publishes:

• The weekly newspaper
• A website, - www.cjn.org
• Jstyle, with features on homes, fashion, food and more.
• Jstyle Weddings, an annual guide to helping the bride to be (and their parents) plan for the big day.
• The SOURCE: Annual Guide to Jewish Living in Northeast Ohio, a directory with comprehensive, useful listings to help readers connect with organizations, agencies and businesses.
• Bar/Bat Mitzvah, a biannual magazine focused on making the occasion meaningful and festive. CJN publications have an average print distribution of 9,000 copies and reach more than 45,000 readers in Greater Cleveland. In addition to paid home delivery, the paper is available in libraries and institutions, and single copies are sold at more than 70 newsstands. In 2012, the CJN launched a digital edition of the paper, which can be viewed on any mobile device. The digital edition is delivered directly to your inbox on Thursday, a full day earlier than the print subscription. The CJN is only one brand created by the Cleveland Jewish Publication Co. (CJPC) who also partners with businesses and organizations to meet their communications needs. Two of the CJPC's signature publications, Balanced Family and Canvas, are found on newsstands and at various locations throughout Ohio. In addition, this growing integrated publishing group has partnered with many local organizations to provide custom solutions including:
• The Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage
• Cleveland State University Theatre Arts Program
• Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio
• Park Synagogue
• The Press Club of Cleveland • AFMDA
• Hillel at Kent State University
• Crocker Park Arts Festival
• Milestones Autism Centers

The CJN and CJPC also have an events division to meet the growing demand for high quality events to connect members of the community to each other. CJN and the CJPC events will be looked upon to keep readers and non-readers engaged with our products, create opportunities to network and fill information gaps. HOURS:

A now-removed petition created by a Solon resident calling to cease all activities at the Chagrin Valley Islamic Center on Liberty Road accused the mosque of engaging in “antisemitic” practices.

The petition, hosted on change.org, was removed from the site after being reported by local residents and community members who support Chagrin Valley Islamic Center.

“It’s been important to me that the members and leadership of Chagrin Valley Islamic Center know that this is not the opinion of the greater mainstream Jewish community,” Rabbi Scott Roland of Congregation Shaarey Tikvah in Beachwood told the Cleveland Jewish News. “And we want to protect their rights together and to celebrate their faith, just as we advocate for those rights and protection for ourselves.”

"A true leader is not one who only cares about the greater community or about the rich and famous individuals," Rabbi Ephraim Nisenbaum writes. "Rather, it is one who cares about every communal need, big or small, and every person, rich or destitute.

"This past week on Shemini Atzeret, the Cleveland community lost a true leader in Moshe or Mel Waxman. But, it was not only a communal loss. In the spirit of our leader Moshe, it was also a personal loss to many."

On Simchas Torah, we read about the passing of our leader, Moshe. The Torah eulogizes him by listing some of his great accomplishments on behalf of the Jewish people; his

Brandon Johnson, Chicago's mayor who has drawn widespread criticism for being anti-Israel and promoting Jew-haters, waited three days to comment after a 39-year-old, visibly Orthodox Jewish man was shot in Chicago as he walked to synagogue on Shabbat on Oct. 26. When he did, he didn’t mention that the victim was Jewish.

“The community is shaken and, frankly, outraged,” Rabbi Shlomo Soroka, of Agudath Israel of Illinois, told JNS. “We all have legitimate questions.”
