📞 Cleveland's Jewish community raises $1.7M in a single day. The Jewish Federation of Cleveland's Super Sunday Kickoff event on September 7 collected donations from 1,275 gifts to launch their 2026 Campaign for Jewish Needs. Hundreds of volunteers gathered at the Mandel Building in Beachwood to make calls, while also participating in activities like decorating picnic tables for local Jewish day schools.

🎺 Jazz returns to legendary Cleveland Heights venue with new partnership. Acclaimed trumpeter Dominick Farinacci is teaming up with EDWINS Leadership & Restaurant Institute to launch a concert series at the former Nighttown space. The series kicks off September 9 and will feature legendary artists, local jazz icons, and rising stars performing on select weeknights. For decades, Nighttown served as a cultural anchor for Cleveland's music scene, and while this new chapter won't recreate the past, it aims to carry forward its spirit. EDWINS, known for its award-winning culinary program supporting formerly incarcerated individuals, sees the partnership as extending its mission of transformation and excellence into music.
