Over the past few days, many in the Cleveland Heights Jewish community have felt targeted by hate. The allegations involving antisemitic language are deeply troubling.

We thank Cleveland Heights City Council for their condemnation of antisemitism and we continue to work with all partners to eliminate hatred against the Jewish community. (fb)
