Who We Are
B’nai Jeshurun Congregation is a traditional Conservative synagogue on the east side of Cleveland.
In 2023, B’nai Jeshurun assembled a team to bring the dream of a Jewish wellness center to fruition, a team led by native Clevelander, Rabbi Alex Rosenbaum.
After months of research involving trial programs, surveys, conversations with community members, and developing partnerships with local and national organizations, we will officially launch JWell in September 2024 during the Hebrew month of Elul.
Our recurring programming includes grief support and alternative Shabbat prayer experiences.
This program was made possible by the generosity of our donors, community members, and a vital grant from Mt. Sinai Health Foundation.
Mission
Vision
Through an integrated model that nurtures the body, mind, and soul, we are dedicated to transforming, enhancing, and promoting the flourishing of spiritual life in Cleveland and throughout Northeast Ohio. Committed to creativity and grounded in Jewish wisdom and text, we infuse mindfulness, wellness, and health into the fabric of our community, creating new pathways into Jewish life and practice. By encouraging continuous learning and exploring innovation in Jewish liturgy, we connect people in new ways, fostering a vibrant and enriched Jewish experience for all.
JWell will reach and inspire thousands of people across the Cleveland Jewish community by transforming and elevating spiritual care, uplifting creative expression through a Jewish lens, and breathing new life into religious practice.
