The 14th annual MyWalk4Friends saw its largest turnout with about 1,200 Friendship Circle of Cleveland supporters attending the signature fundraiser Aug. 27 at its Pepper Pike campus. The 1½-mile walk followed a new route, circling around Friendship Circle of Cleveland’s campus. Walkers were followed by a rocket car and photos of rockets were hidden along the route to signify the walk’s theme, “grateful and going.” Snow cones were provided mid-walk. Festivities including axe throwing, balloon art, inflatable bounce houses, obstacle courses and bungee jumping, and bubbles commenced upon the return to the Friendship Circle of Cleveland campus. #cleveland #fundraiser #walk #friendshipcircle
🌎 The Cleveland and Israeli Jewish communities were well-represented at the 77th annual One World Day Aug. 27 in the Cleveland Cultural Gardens as the Greater Cleveland community came together in a showcase of its diversity. In the Hebrew Cultural Garden, the first of the cultural gardens to be built and dedicated in 1926, the Jewish Federation of Cleveland organized activities, from an “origami foldie” with facts about the garden to music by the Yiddishe Cup Klezmer Band. The garden was the vision of Leo Weidenthal, founder of the Shakespeare Garden and publisher of Cleveland’s Jewish Independent newspaper, a predecessor of the Cleveland Jewish News. #cleveland #oneworldday #culture #hebrew #garden #culturalgardens #greatercleveland #global #diversity #music #owd2023cle
