Case Western Reserve University and
The Temple – Tifereth Israel Announce
Historic Partnership
Case Western Reserve University and The Temple – Tifereth Israel have announced an historic partnership with a lead donation of $12 million from the Maltz Family Foundation of the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland. The gift represents a catalytic challenge for the transformation of The Temple's iconic building in University Circle into the Milton and Tamar Maltz Performing Arts Center at The Temple – Tifereth Israel. The initiative also will preserve the historic building as a place of worship and celebration for the 1,400 families of The Temple – Tifereth Israel community.
"Milton and Tamar Maltz have given us a remarkable opportunity," said Barbara R. Snyder, President of Case Western Reserve. "This project has the potential to create enormous benefit for our university, for The Temple congregation and for the community at large." Read more.
