From the 1950s onward it emerged as a central hub of Greater Cleveland Jewish community life as families moved further into the eastern suburbs; several major synagogues built there over local opposition in that era. Today it hosts an exceptionally high concentration of Jewish residents and institutions, including synagogues, kosher establishments, and communal organizations. <small>Sources: Wikipedia — Beachwood, Ohio; Encyclopedia of Cleveland History — Beachwood.</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Lillian Schermer (b.1893)]] | Died 12/02/1975 | | [[Armin Harry Schermer (b.1898)]] | Died 03/17/1980 | | [[Henry Jacobs (b.1898)]] | Died 04/24/1986 | | [[Malvina Friedman (b.1901)]] | Died 03/22/1988 | | [[Ethel Rae Sicherman (b.1928)]] | Died 11/07/2000 | | [[Shirley May Sicherman (b.1928)]] | Died 09/25/2005 |
